The exciting discoveries of molecular biology are not being used in ways to realize their maximum benefit for the world¿s poor; neither are the rich pools of genetic resources that exist in collections held by national agricultural research systems (NARS) and the Future Harvest Centers of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The products of the genomics revolution will not address the needs of the resource poor unless strong coalitions are made by institutions dedicated to alleviating poverty.

[The focus of the CP needs to be rethought. Twenty two crops are considered, but there is only a single target (tolerance of drought stress). While relevant as a model system, choosing only drought tolerance ¿sets the bar very high.¿ A few other model traits, for example those relating to disease and pest resistance, should also be included. If one focus is to be on drought, the CWANA region should be explicitly included in the CP, including its institutions with significant experience on this issue.]

¿The countries represented in the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture are presently re-negotiating the International Undertaking, in harmony with the CBD, that will most likely be binding, and that seeks to establish a multilateral system for facilitated access to, and benefit sharing of, Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFAs).¿

The paper discusses possible approaches to promote partnerships in the area of underutilized species/minor crops. IPGRI has several years of experience in this domain, involving a variety of stakeholders, sharing efforts in addressing the better conservation and use of these species across regions and focusing on issues ranging from domestication, market potential to documentation and networking.
