There are now more than a thousand genebanks worldwide involved in the ex situ (meaning ''away from the source'') storage of particular classes of crops. Since the 1970's, the eleven genebanks maintained by the centres of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) have become pivotal to the global conservation effort. However, key policy and management issues - usually with economic dimensions - have largely been overlooked. This provided the impetus for a series of detailed economic studies, led by IFPRI, in collaboration with five CGIAR centres: CIAT (based in Colombia), CIMMYT (Mexico), ICARDA (Syria), ICRISAT (India) and IRRI (Philippines). This book reports these studies and discusses their wider implications. 606 $aCrops$xGermplasm resources 606 $aGene banks, Plant 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCrops$xGermplasm resources. 615 0$aGene banks, Plant. 676 $a631.5/23 700 $aKoo$b Bonwoo$0925354 701 $aPardey$b Philip G$088789 701 $aWright$b Brian$f1948 Jan. 1-$0925355 712 02$aC.A.B.
