For the first time, olive seeds have been deposited in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, marking a significant international safety backup effort. This achievement resulted from a collaborative initiative involving the FAO’s International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, the International Olive Council, and the Universities of Córdoba and Granada, supported by the Spanish Plant Genetic Resources Centre and NordGen.

The International Treaty enables countries to conserve, share, and utilize crop diversity. Learn more about the Plant Treaty: https://www.fao.org/plant-treaty/en/. For additional information, visit FAO: http://www.fao.org.

FAO’s Third Report on the State of the World’s Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture underscores plant diversity as crucial for future agrifood systems. This video illustrates how plant genetic resources—found in the wild, on farms, and in genebanks—enable nutritious crops resilient to pests, diseases, and climate extremes. It highlights global conservation efforts and the vital roles of farmers, scientists, and institutions.

Stronger policies, innovation, and awareness are essential to protect this diversity and build sustainable food systems. Learn more: FAO Plant Production and Protection. Subscribe: YouTube.
