International Workshop on Crop Agrobiodiversity Monitoring
ARCAD hosted on 23-25 March 2015 the International Workshop on Crop Agrobiodiversity Monitoring at Agropolis International, Montpellier, France. About 40 researchers from Europe, Africa, Asia, and South-America attended the event. A workshop report is being developed, and the presentations materials (in English) are now available online.
The workshop aimed to take stock of the on-going crop agrobiodiversity monitoring initiatives in the world, in order to develop strategies for the years to come, through 4 sessions:
- Session 1: “Why and for whom monitoring crop agrobiodiversity?”
- Session 2: “Monitoring crop agrobiodiversity: what and how?”
- Session 3: “Integrating data / information systems”
- Session 4: Toward joint research proposal
This workshop was co-organised by ARCAD, Bioversity International, Cirad and IRD with the support of Agropolis Fondation, FEDER Languedoc-Roussillon, INRA and Montpellier SupAgro.
