Brief 21 in the Research at a Glance series— Genetic Resource Policies: Promising crop biotechnologies for smallholder farmers in East Africa: Bananas and Maize.
In recognition of the importance of genetic resources, international agreements, such as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA), encourage national go

Briefs 13 - 18 of the Research at a Glance series, “Genetic Resource Policies: What is Diversity Worth to Farmers?”
The research on which the briefs are based has been published as a collection of case studies geared toward agricultural and resource economists, applied researchers working in international and national organizations, and scientists involved in l
As isolated communities have become progressively more linked into global production systems, understanding the impact of economic change on crop diversity has become increasingly important.
Farmers and scientists start with different perspectives about the plants they breed and manage, and their ways of ordering or classifying them, called “taxonomies.” Linking these differing perspectives poses a challenge in applied research about
The decision to define or measure diversity in a certain way for conservation or development policy can have unforeseen impacts on other types of diversity.
Institutional analysis can be used to understand the value placed on crop diversity by farmers as a social process, and to uncover the market-related constraints and incentives that influence farmer management of genetic resources.
Analysis of the determinants of on-farm crop diversity not only enables researchers to predict the distribution of diversity across landscapes, but also to develop programs or recommend policies that might positively affect its conservation.
