Chatham House Dialogue on Crop Diversity for Challenging Times: the Role of Genebanks in Sustainable Development

The Chatham House Dialogue comprised three separate sessions that aimed to build a vision of how genebanks can play a fuller and more effective role in helping agriculture meet future challenges. Special attention was paid to the evolving role of the international genebanks managed by the CGIAR. The key findings and recommendations of the dialogue were written up as a brief statement and, together with background documents prepared for the Dialogue, were used as the basis for a System-level review of CGIAR genebank costs and operations.
