United for Diversity

The System-wide Genetic Resources Programme (SGRP) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) unites the CGIAR’s independent agricultural research Centres in a common effort to sustain biodiversity for current and future generations. The diversity embodied in plant, animal, forest and aquatic genetic resources supplies the building blocks for sustainable agriculture to fight poverty, bring health and food security, and protect the environment.

About SGRP: Working together for over two decades

The SGRP is the culmination of a long-standing collaborative partnership among CGIAR Centre scientists and technicians involving sharing of know-how and joint action to address common research problems. The focus of the collaboration has always been the CGIAR Centre genebanks’ plant genetic resources collections and the challenges surrounding their management.
