"[...] implementing global cooperation on the conservation and sustainable utilization of genetic resources for agriculture and food means organizing two processes. 1) Organizing negotiation and, once agreement has been reached, monitoring, will inevitably be the responsibility of the Intergovernmental Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture hosted by the FAO. 2) Organizing global cooperative operations could be assigned to the GFAR, which involves the operational partners that will have to be mobilized in order to implement the GPA. To accomplish such a wide-ranging task, the GFAR would have to set up an ad hoc structure of which IPGRI would be either the heart or at least the driving force."
