Progress and challenges in ex situ conservation of forage germplasm: Grasses, herbaceous legumes and fodder trees por Hanson, Jean, Ellis, Richard H.

“…Rapid rates of genetic erosion of forage diversity due to land-use change from natural pastures and rangelands to crop production to meet the food security requirements of a growing global population, together with pressures from a changing climate, highlight the necessity for ex situ seed conservation of forage genetic resources to provide germplasm for use by future generations. …”

Multistakeholder platforms for natural resource governance: Lessons from eight landscape-level cases por Ratner, B.D., Larson, A.M., Sarmiento Barletti, J., ElDidi, Hagar, Catacutan, D., Flintan, Fiona E., Suhardiman, D., Falk, Thomas, Meinzen-Dick, Ruth S.
