In 2026, the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture made its first deposit into the Arctic World Archive (AWA). This collection included the Treaty’s official texts in 14 languages, alongside stories from farmers and researchers worldwide.

The International Treaty enables countries to conserve, share, and use vital crop diversity, supporting global food security.

Intensifying pest pressures, exacerbated by climate change and resistance to conventional controls, were the focus of a recent E-dialogue. It explored how host plant resistance, precision breeding, and integrated genetic and digital solutions can deliver scalable impact, accelerate farmer adoption, supported by effective policy frameworks.

The dialogue featured a keynote by Professor Sophien Kamoun and an expert panel from academia and technology. For more, visit the Agrifood Sustainability and Innovation E-dialogue series.

ISPM 5, the Glossary of Phytosanitary Terms, serves as a foundational reference for harmonized terminology under the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). It ensures a shared understanding of key terms, promoting clarity and consistency across languages and regions. This strengthens global cooperation in plant health, supporting effective pest prevention, safe trade, and the protection of plant resources worldwide.

Join host Jeff Corwin in Florida to explore the remarkable conservation success of the American crocodile. Once near extinction with only 100 adults, their population now exceeds 2,000 in Southern Florida, thanks to the Endangered Species Act and dedicated efforts. A surprising sanctuary for these reptiles is the Turkey Point nuclear power plant.

The plant's 6,000-acre site, particularly its 10-square-mile network of cooling canals, provides ideal, secure nesting habitat. Wildlife biologists from Florida Power & Light and Defenders of Wildlife monitor and tag hatchlings before releasing them, ensuring the species' continued recovery. Protecting these apex predators is crucial for the entire Florida ecosystem. Learn more at defenders.org/wildlifenation.

For the first time, olive seeds have been deposited in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, marking a significant international safety backup effort. This achievement resulted from a collaborative initiative involving the FAO’s International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, the International Olive Council, and the Universities of Córdoba and Granada, supported by the Spanish Plant Genetic Resources Centre and NordGen.
