Explanation :
- The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture was adopted by the Thirty-First Session of the Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations on 3rd November, 2001.
- The Treaty’s truly innovative solution to access and benefit sharing, the Multilateral System, puts 64 most important crops – crops that together account for 80 percent of the food derived from plants – into an easily accessible global pool of genetic resources that is freely available to potential users in the Treaty’s ratifying nations for some uses.
- There are 146 contracting parties to the Treaty (143 states and the European Union) as of July 2019.
Aim
- Recognizing the enormous contribution of farmers to the diversity of crops that feed the world;
- Establishing a global system to provide farmers, plant breeders and scientists with access to plant genetic materials;
- Ensuring that recipients share benefits they derive from the use of these genetic materials with the countries where they have been originated.
