In studies of the impact of germplasm improvement research, improved food security and environmental well-being can be attributed to the use of genetic resources. Intermediate goal Indicators Assumptions and risks Agrobiodiversity in sustainable farming systems is enhanced through research involving the collection, conservation, evaluation, and equitable sharing of maize, wheat, and triticale genetic resources, appropriate related species, and related information. Continued conservation and ex situ management of maize, wheat, and related genetic resources. Increased evaluation and utilization of maize, wheat, and related genetic resources by researchers and farmers. Increased information for researchers, farmers, and policy makers on social, economic, and policy issues in maize and wheat genetic resource management and conservation, ex situ and in situ.
Resources are available to conserve genetic resources and conduct associated activities.
Policy environment is conducive to international exchange and dissemination of genetic resources, information, and collaborative research. Reduced genetic vulnerability in farmers' fields, leading to improved production and food security. International exchange of germplasm and information continues. Outputs Indicators Assumptions and risks 1. Better conservation of genetic resources ex situ and in situ.
