SUMMARY:Course: 'Plant genetic resources and seeds'
DESCRIPTION:Loss of genetic resources has resulted in major concerns about future food and nutrition security. The vulnerability of agricultural systems towards pests\, diseases and climate change makes the topic urgent\, and has led to the development of a range of conservation strategies. Community Biodiversity Management (CBM) distinguishes itself from other conservation strategies by enhancing social interdependence\, collaboration\, adaptability and autonomy. \nCommunity resilience in the face of change\nOn-farm management of diversity for empowerment\nCBM focuses on the process of enabling communities to secure their access to and control over genetic resources through increased decision-making power. Strengthening the management over a variety of resources\, provides options that farmers can utilize in times of scarcity. Improving their access to\, and control over these resources\, simultaneously contributes to the development of farmers’ autonomy and their capacity to respond to change.\nThe training is experience-based and task-oriented. It includes fieldwork in the Jeypore district\, in one of the world’s most important agricultural heritage systems. \nThe overall objective of the program is to enhance your capability to apply state-of-the-art strategies for managing Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA). \nCourse objectives\nUpon completion of the course you will: \n\nbe familiar with contemporary approaches towards genetic resources management and conservation strategies;\nknow the conceptual framework of CBM\, its components and practices;\nunderstand integrated seed systems;\nknow how to manage PGRFA in dynamic landscapes\, unpredictable environments\, climate hotspots and vulnerabilities;\nknow how to empower communities and enhance their resilience;\nunderstand participatory learning and action research;\nbe familiar with key PGRFA policies such as CBD\, IT-PGRFA\, IPR\, WTO-TRIPS and UPOV.\n\nTarget audience\nThe training is designed for public\, civil\, research\, education and/or development professionals working in a range of relevant projects. Applicants should have at least a BSc degree\, have three years of professional experience in a relevant field\, and be fluent in the English language. \n
