Biodiversity is essential for sustainable development, adaptation to a changing environment and the continued functioning of the biosphere-indeed, to human survival itself. Plant breeders are dependent upon the availability of a large pool of genetic material represented by local races and wild relations, since in themselves modern crop varieties provide too limited a gene pool for further breeding.
