Your experiences with Access and Benefit-Sharing (ABS) measures in obtaining genetic resources for food and agriculture

Do you have any experiences (good or bad) when trying to obtain genetic resources abroad for use in research and/or development? FAO's Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (CGRFA) is currently conducting a study on the effects of ABS measures on the exchange, utilization and conservation of genetic resources for food and agriculture and associated traditional knowledge.

As part of this study, the CGRFA released an online questionnaire regarding users' experiences with national ABS measures in obtaining genetic resources for food and agriculture. By completing this questionnaire, you can share your experiences and contribute to the international discussion on ABS.

The link to the questionnaire is: https://form.jotform.com/241691968899382. The deadline for completing the questionnaire is 20 September 2024.

More information is available on the CGRFA website.
