A Global Rescue - Safeguarding The World's Crop Wild Relatives

The collecting effort described in this publication was part of a comprehensive, multi-year project that empowered national partners around the world to enrich their genebank collections. At the same time, this project has shared those resources with the global community under the rules of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, to the ultimate benefit of farmers everywhere.
