Seed policy & programmes in Latin America & the Caribbean FAO Plant Production and Protection paper Series, Vol. 164
Langue : Anglais
This publication presents the proceedings of the Regional Technical
Meeting on Seed Policy and Programmes in Latin America and the Caribbean,
which was held in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico from 20 to 24 March 2000. In
line with the Global Plan of Action for Plant Genetic Resources adopted in
Leipzig, the Rome Declaration on World Food Security and the World Food
Summit Plan of Action, the Meeting recognised that a major challenge
facing the countries of the Latin America and the Caribbean region is
directly related to the sustainable utilization of the amazing wealth of
the region's plant genetic resources. In particular, the deliberations
focused on the appropriate mechanisms required to ensure capacity for the
maintenance, production and equitable distribution of good quality seeds
of a wide range of plant varieties, thus contributing to national and
regional food security.
