We support and fund the world’s most important crop collections via the CGIAR Genebank Platform and provide support to key national collections of crop diversity most important for future global food security.

We support the ultimate backup for crop collections, backing up seeds in the arctic permafrost from almost every country in the world.

We pursue conservation and use of the wild cousins of our food crops – supporting the collection, conservation and preparation of crop wild relatives for climate change adaptation.

We develop a new generation of information technologies to make the world’s crop diversity searchable and accessible around the globe.

We race to rescue crop diversity in danger of disappearing forever. Under the Global Systems Project, the Crop Trust launched what has been described as the largest and most successful biological rescue mission ever.

We create a permanent legacy of support to sustainably fund a global system of crop conservation and use.
