In November 2021, the SPD analysed the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (CGRFA), and more particularly its work on agrobiodiversity targets and indicators, asking why the right indicator choice is crucial for agrobiodiversity movements. It was enriched by contributions from Dan Leskien, from the FAO CGRFA Secretariat, and François MEIENBERG, from Pro Specie Rara.

You can watch the presentation on the history & objectives of the CGRFA, along with the latest decisions taken in September 2021, and the importance of targets and indicators for the agrobiodiversity movement (in English).
