About the web tool
This web tool for crop wild relative (CWR) population management provides a clear understanding and of best practices and guidelines on how to manage, document, and secure the wild populations of CWR species in their natural habitats.
What?
To effectively manage, document, secure and make available to users the genetic diversity of CWR taxa
Why?
CWR provide the genetic diversity necessary for the adaptation of crops to secure global food security. Yet many are threatened and their in situ conservation is most urgent
Who?
Protected area managers, field technicians, farmers, private landowners who are responsible for conserving these wild populations in their natural habitats
How?
CWR populations must be effectively managed, both individually and as part of a high-quality standards network
