  1. “Seed Treaty is short of funds”: So what? The main problem for the Treaty and all countries great and small is that the Treaty has greatly reduced the flow of samples needed for crop production and crop development. This is a global disaster that no-one seems to be taking responsibility for (and it is not the fault of the major CG institutes – responsibility was taken entirely out of their hands in 1994 by the World Bank).
    Going on now about funding is `head in the sand’. There are several mechanisms to directly link enhanced flow of samples to bilateral funding – the Treaty is ignoring these.
