Description CGIAR centers have made a major global contribution to ex situ conservation of crop genetic
resources. Some centers have also made detailedsocio-anthropologicaIstudies ofmanda'te crops
in traditional farmingsystems and, more recently, farmerparticipatory research is becoming part of
crop irnprovementprograrns. Centers can expand these studies to develop strategies for on-farm
conservation in close collaboration will) nalional agricultural research and extension systems,
NGOs and farmers. A specific role for ICRISAT is firmly based on its locations in centers of crop
diversity and traditional agriculture; its complement of experienced crop scientists and extensive
databases; ils capacityto analyzegenetic, environmental, andgenotypexenvironmentinteractions
as determinants of crop productivity; its close relalionships with netionalprograms; anditsgrowing
involvement in farn~erparticipato ry research, The expertise and experience of lCt7lSA Tand other
CGlAR centers can make a major contribution to the dynamic conservation, enhancement and
utilization of agrobiodiversity on-farm for tl~bee nefits of farmers and global foodproduct/on.
