International Partners Launch Immersive Exhibition at GB-11 in Peru
27 November 2025
The exhibition, “An Immersive Journey of Seeds: The Infinite Loop and Seeds of Peru,” opened alongside the Eleventh Session of the Governing Body of the International Plant Treaty (GB-11).
“As climate pressures and biodiversity loss accelerate, this exhibition highlights the importance of the International Treaty in bringing together traditional knowledge, science and policy,” said Kent Nnadozie, Secretary of the International Treaty. “This perspective is central to GB-11 discussions, where Contracting Parties are working to enhance access to plant genetic resources, secure sustainable funding, and strengthen fair benefit-sharing to support their conservation and use.”
The Infinite Loop: How farmers, genebanks and policymakers sustain crop diversity
At the heart of the exhibition is the Infinite Loop—an immersive structure that visitors can walk through, experiencing the cycle that sustains agricultural diversity. It traces the journey of seeds from farmers’ fields, where crop diversity is nurtured and traditional knowledge preserved, to genebanks and research centers, where genetic resources are conserved, studied and shared—before returning to farmers who keep this diversity alive for future generations.
The Infinite Loop is a joint effort by the International Plant Treaty, the International Potato Center (CIP), the CGIAR Genebanks Accelerator, the Crop Trust, and NordGen.
