FAO Commission meets

The Eleventh regular session of the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (CGRFA-11) is on in Rome all this week. You can follow the deliberations day by day courtesy of IISD. Better than being there. No, really.

Worldwatch Institute is also taking an interest.

And of course the agenda and all the background documentation are online.

Maybe the participants will raise the topic. It does seem an odd omission, but maybe I’m biassed.
