The Crop Trust is an international non-profit organization dedicated to conserving and making crop diversity available for use globally, forever and for the benefit of everyone.

Ex Situ Conservation Strategies

Since 2007 the Crop Trust has facilitated the development of global crop conservation strategies to identify priority collections and actions to strengthen the conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA), and to ensure that conservation activities and priorities are better coordinated among stakeholders (including genebanks and their users) worldwide.
