Ah, yes, the Commission on PGRFA is meeting in Rome, for the sixteenth time.

Correction: It’s of course the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food & Agriculture, not just plants, as my original “PGRFA” suggested. My mistake. Sheer force of habit to include that “P.” The remit of the Commission has long included “animal, forest, aquatic and microbe/invertebrate genetic resources for food and agriculture, and guides an additional global assessment on biodiversity for food and agriculture.” Thanks to Irene Hoffman for the correction. Apologies all round.
