Ces descripteurs ont pour objectif d’être compatibles à la fois avec les listes de descripteurs des plantes cultivées de l’IPGRI et avec les descripteurs utilisés par le Système d’information mondial et alerte rapide sur les ressources phytogénétiques (WIEWS) de la FAO. Chaque descripteur de passeport multi-cultures est accompagné d'une brève explication du contenu, du système de codage et du nom de champ suggéré (entre parenthèses) afin de faciliter l'échange informatisé de ce type de données

In order to promote an enabling environment for the conservation and sustainable use of NUS, it is necessary to develop appropriate policies and legal frameworks. Essential components of these include the participation of small-scale farmers, nutritional and other food requirements of local people, and the promotion of public-private partnerships for developing new varieties and new breeding schemes of specific crops. The importance of these crops has been formally recognized in numerous policy frameworks, including in FAO's Global Plan of Action Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and the Second Global Plan of Action for Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. The approach must be holistic to take into account efficient seed systems and value chain development, in order to promote th...

It makes an important contribution to the staple needs of the population and is part of the ancestral and cultural heritage of Andean countries. Its wide varietal diversity constitutes an extraordinarily valuable gene pool: wide range of colours of plant, inflorescence and seed; varying crop cycle duration; high nutrient and agro-industrial value; and high saponin content of grains. Thanks to its extraordinary genetic diversity, the crop is very adaptable to different agro-ecological conditions (soils, rainfall, temperature and altitude) and is tolerant to frost, drought and salinity. Worldwide, 16 422 accessions of quinoa and its wild relatives (C. quinoa, C. album, C. berlandieri, C. hircinum, C. petiolare, C. murale and Chenopodium sp.) are conserved in 59 genebanks distributed in 30 countries. Genebanks in the Andean region conserve more than 88% of the cr...

Despite increasing efforts in recent years, much remains to be done to improve the management of these resources. Many are at risk of extinction or erosion and many have been overlooked in terms of use and development. There is an urgent need to address these deficiencies, both within the individual sectors of food and agriculture and in terms of how genetic resources management can be better integrated across sectors. These efforts will need to include action to address the multiple knowledge gaps that constrain improvements to management. They will also need to include the creation of policy and institutional frameworks that promote collaboration and stakeholder participation and allow sustainable management strategies to be implemented effectively at appropriate scales.

The effective use of traditional vegetables can be challenged however by lack of information and poor conservation status. This study reviewed the uses, growth forms and geographic origins of cultivated vegetables worldwide and the levels of research, ex situ conservation, and documentation they have received in order to identify gaps and priorities for supporting more effective use of global vegetable diversity. A total of 1097 vegetables were identified in a review of the Mansfeld Encyclopedia of Agricultural and Horticultural Plants, including species used for leaves (n = 495), multiple vegetative parts (n = 227), roots (n = 204), fruits or seeds (n = 90), and other parts like flowers, inflorescences, and stems (n = 81). Root vegetables have received significantly less research attention than other types of vegetable. Therophytes (annuals) have received significantly more attention from research and conservation efforts than vegetables with other growth forms, while vegetables originating in Africa (n = 406) and the Asian-Pacific region (n = 165) are notably neglected. Documentation for most vegetable species is poor and the conservation of many vegetables is largely realized on farm through continued use. Supportive policies are needed to advance research, conservation, and documentation of neglected vegetable species to protect and further their role in nutrition-sensitive agriculture.

TÍTULO: Quinoa Experimentation and Production in Turkey *Corresponding author: Attila YAZAR yazarat@cu.edu.tr ATTILA YAZAR1; ÇIĞDEM INCEKAYA1; METIN SEMIH SEZEN2; SERVET TEKIN3. 1Irrigation and Agricultural Structures Department, Çukurova University, Adana, Turkey 2Water Management Division, Soil and Water Resources Unit in Tarsus, Alata Horticultural Research Institute, Mersin, Turkey 3Biosystem Engineering Department, Sütçüimam University, Kahramanmaraş, Turkey The purpose of this chapter is to provide information on improving food crop production in the arid and semi-arid regions especially in the semi-arid Mediterranean region of Turkey, influenced by multiple abiotic stresses, by strengthening a diversified crop production and introducing new climateproof crops and cultivars with improved stress tolerance such as quinoa. These stresses are becoming even more pronounced under changing climate, predicted to result in drier conditions, increasing temperatures, and ...
