[BCFSN] Break down barriers between seed banks and field study

[Pamela Zevit Adamah Consultants]

Interesting article on the issue of seed conservation and protecting genetic diversity.

 

"The problem is that systems of in situ and ex situ conservation have been largely disconnected for
some time. Some conservationists even see them as antagonistic. And while devotees of one side argue
with the other, the diversity that underpins the food we eat is lost both in genebanks and in
farmers' fields."
