Frøene vil oppformeres umiddelbart slik at nye ferske frø kan disponeres av bønder, forskere og foredlere.

About ICARDA
Om Icarda
The International Gene Bank of Syria (ICARDA) preserves more than 148.000 seeds of unique varieties of wild species and regional cultivars of barley, wheat, peas, beans and a range of forage crops, adapted to agriculture in dry areas.
Den internasjonale genbanken i Syria (ICARDA) bevarer mer enn 148 000 frø av unike varianter av ville slektninger og landsorter innen bygg, hvete, erter, bønner og diverse fôrvekster, som er tilpasset jordbruk i tørre områder.
Presently, ICARDA registers a strong demand for seeds from researchers and farmers wanting to adapt crops to a drier climate.
Genbanken opplever stor etterspørsel etter frøene fra forskere og bønder som ønsker å tilpasse jordbruket til et tørrere klima.
The gene bank in Aleppo is still operative, but the uncertain national situation impedes sufficient recultivation of seeds to meet the demand.
Genbanken i Aleppo er fortsatt i normal drift, men den usikre situasjonen i landet vanskeliggjør oppformeringen av frø for å dekke etterspørselen.
Near the end of September, 128 crates of different seed species were lifted off the shelves and carted out of the vault.
128 kasser med forskjellige frøslag ble i slutten av september båret ned fra hyllene og trillet ut av frøhvelvet i slutten av september.
These shipments are now arriving at the new ICARDA Headquarters in Lebanon and ICARDA's Research Centre in Morocco.
Disse forsendelsene er nå ankommet til det nye hovedkvarteret til ICARDA i Libanon og til forskningssenteret i Marokko.
