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