Abstract
CGIAR centers have made a major global contribution to ex situ conservation of crop genetic resources. Some centers have also made detailedsocio-anthropologicaIstudies ofmanda'te crops in traditional farmingsystems and, more recently, farmerparticipatory research is becoming part of crop irnprovementprograrns. Centers can expand these studies to develop strategies for on-farm conservation in close collaboration will) nalional agricultural research and extension systems, NGOs and farmers. A specific role for ICRISAT is firmly based on its locations in centers of crop diversity and traditional agriculture; its complement of experienced crop scientists and extensive databases; ils capacityto analyzegenetic, environmental, andgenotypexenvironmentinteractions as determinants of crop productivity; its close relalionships with netionalprograms; anditsgrowing involvement in farn~erparticipato ry research, The expertise and experience of lCt7lSA Tand other CGlAR centers can make a major contribution to the dynamic conservation, enhancement and utilization of agrobiodiversity on-farm for tl~bee nefits of farmers and global foodproduct/on.
