0:00:00 | they are usually on the letter |
---|
0:00:07 | she |
---|
0:00:13 | the genetic resources that we have come from really very few species that we eating |
---|
0:00:18 | consume and use for all sorts of fruit purposes |
---|
0:00:21 | and preserving those conserving those is vital for the future generations |
---|
0:00:26 | we have to make sure that we can keep that diversity available |
---|
0:00:30 | accessible and usable for humanity into the future |
---|
0:00:38 | it provides a sort of international watchdog a means by which countries can come together |
---|
0:00:43 | and hold each other to account and what they doing monitor what's happening to genetic |
---|
0:00:48 | resources around the world and focus on real actions to achieve sustainability sustainable use |
---|
0:00:55 | these on meant to just sit there is resources in agriculture they have to be |
---|
0:00:58 | used |
---|
0:00:59 | and this is something that the commission |
---|
0:01:01 | bring is |
---|
0:01:02 | a unified means of two of delivering of bringing these things together in a constructive |
---|
0:01:06 | way so that we can all benefit from sustainable use |
---|
0:01:15 | the commission really needs to be there |
---|
0:01:17 | if it wasn't we'd have countries playing their own personal interests we have |
---|
0:01:23 | private corporations playing their own personal interest in making use of resources |
---|
0:01:29 | which would lead very quickly to those who have most benefiting most but many others |
---|
0:01:34 | being exploited and |
---|
0:01:37 | degraded their resources be integrated in the process |
---|
0:01:40 | so this is something where the role of the commission is essential in providing an |
---|
0:01:44 | oversight across all of those countries and providing a mutual accountability for how genetic resources |
---|
0:01:50 | used |
---|
0:01:51 | to ensure that being used for the benefit if you melody not just for personal |
---|
0:01:55 | okay |
---|
0:02:01 | what was saying now is countries are really aware and awake to genetic resources but |
---|
0:02:07 | they're often still struggling to deal with them given the maze of complex legislation and |
---|
0:02:13 | interactions that these things involved |
---|
0:02:15 | so what the commission can play a very valuable role isn't helping to ensure that |
---|
0:02:20 | developing countries in particular have the capacity to engage with other countries on an equal |
---|
0:02:26 | basis not simply have less information therefore be less equipped but be able to state |
---|
0:02:31 | their own case |
---|
0:02:33 | on a and equal footing with those two perhaps may have much more advanced or |
---|
0:02:37 | much broader knowledge of the particular |
---|
0:02:39 | crosser animals in question |
---|
0:02:42 | and so bring in this equipped ability to the process i think is very important |
---|
0:02:46 | well so countries are developing their own frameworks now for how to deal with sustainable |
---|
0:02:51 | use of genetic resources |
---|
0:02:54 | but those need to move beyond the paper we need to become put into action |
---|
0:02:58 | they need to become practical processes that will ensure sustainable use |
---|
0:03:02 | not just be tied up in a in a piece of legislation somewhere or policy |
---|
0:03:06 | statement but turned into practical actions |
---|
0:03:13 | it brings a real connection between the role of the global forum in agriculture research |
---|
0:03:18 | and we exist to be a multi stakeholder body looking at all these issues |
---|
0:03:23 | bringing the |
---|
0:03:24 | focus of attention to the for the center of the processes and looking at how |
---|
0:03:28 | all of these mechanisms can benefit the pour in particular |
---|
0:03:32 | and so that means a very good interaction between the intergovernmental process of the commission |
---|
0:03:37 | and what we're doing in practical terms with farmers with n g os with research |
---|
0:03:42 | borders with extension what is and so on |
---|
0:03:44 | to really turn those principles and practice |
---|
0:03:47 | and so i think it's a very good synergy between the commission and the global |
---|
0:03:51 | forum agriculture research because we're both striving for the same names but we reach fulfilling |
---|
0:03:57 | a part of that magic store necessary actions |
---|
0:04:05 | well my six words |
---|
0:04:07 | firstly intergovernmental very important state as |
---|
0:04:11 | biodiversity a call focus of what the commission works on |
---|
0:04:16 | sustainability vital push that the commission is striving for |
---|
0:04:22 | and two other functions coordination the commission plays a very important coordinating role |
---|
0:04:28 | between different treaties and between different governments bring |
---|
0:04:32 | a logical or flow to how these processes time together |
---|
0:04:36 | and vitally i think is that of support supporting actions all around the world to |
---|
0:04:42 | ensure the sustainable use of a genetic resources of plants and animals in agriculture |
