What is the Global Crop Diversity Trust?
The Global Crop Diversity Trust is an international fund whose goal is to support the conservation of crop diversity over the long term. The Trust seeks to match the long-term nature of conservation with long term secure and sustainable funding. The Trust will host an endowment whose proceeds will provide a permanent source of financial support for eligible crop diversity collections around the world. The Trust will also provide technical and capacity building assistance to collections seeking to become eligible for ongoing support. Finally, the Trust will promote and assist the development of a rational and efficient system of crop diversity conservation around the world.
