The problem was strengthened by the farm specialization. Together with the wild relatives of our breeds and crops all over the world, this diversity forms the pool of genetic resources . The CBD states that genetic resources are a part of the total biological diversity that has to be conserved and sustainably used by the nations. As organic agriculture avoids the use of chemicals and mineral fertilizers, differences between ecological conditions of the farms are revealed. Different, special adapted or adaptable varieties of the crops are needed to meet these conditions.
Genetic diversity is a valuable resource for variable breeding objectives now and in the future.
