The Crop Trust´s work responds to the urgent call for conserving crop diversity within a rational, efficient global system
The Crop Trust funds the world’s most important genebanks from the Crop Diversity Endowment Fund, which is at the heart of the Crop Trust’s task. The Crop Trust also implements projects to address gaps in the global system for the conservation of crop diversity that closely complement the work funded by the endowment.
