A historic Letter of Intent was signed at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) between the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) and the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) for the conservation of plant genetic resources in viticulture.
This new collaboration will encompass a broad spectrum of activities, including:
- Capacity Building: Encouraging programmes for the development of skills necessary for advanced conservation of plant genetic resources.
- Knowledge Exchange: Actively promoting the exchange of information relevant to the viticulture sector.
- Adoption of International Standards: Advocating for the use of internationally agreed-upon data standards for the documentation of plant genetic resources.
- Resource Provision and Funding: Ensuring necessary resources to support collaborative activities, as well as developing financial initiatives for the progress of shared goals, including those related to Sustainable Development Goal 15, which aims to “protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss”.
