3 The biodiversity management system in your country Field 1: Seed-legislation national/international Affecting seed network Field 2: Formal sector (ex situ network) Gene bank, Research, University Species / varieties conserved here (National authorities) How do they influence your seed network How do you interact with them projects, national platform? Seed network examples for different cultivars Field 5: In situ biodiversity management What are their contributions and activities in the seed network? Field 4: Civil society organizations dealing with seed issues (gmo, politics, development aid)

4 Arche Noah Austria ProSpecieRara (CH) Réseau Semences Paysannes (F) Red Andaluza de Semillas, Spain Rete semi rurali Italy visions/objectives The loss of crop diversity is stopped. The crop diversity is maintained by its private and commercial use in gardens and fields and develops further according to the local conditions. The loss of crops and rare breeds is stopped. Diversity in food and agriculture is maintained by a dynamic management system that includes marketing elements and cooperation with many stakeholders from seed to shelf. Build a farmers network for dynamic conservation. Promote the rights and practices of biodiversity actors. Protection of traditional knowledge. Right to save, use exchange and sell farm-saved seeds. Stop the loss of agric.biodiv. and peasant knowledge. Reintroduction of local varieties and agroecological farming systems as well as farmers organic food products. Farmers right to sow and exchange seeds, Awareness raising. Right- based approach to conservation. From conservation to biodiversity management. From old varieties to populations. Research action Recognition of the role of farmers on biodiv.- management (CSB). Participatory research. structure members and donors in Austria, Germany and other countries. 39 employees. 3 branch offices in CH, 1 in DE. 25 employees, donors and gardeners and breeders. 90 collective members. 6 employees. 150 individual and 50 collective members. 850 users of the community seed bank (CSB) 38 member organizations in Italy 4 full time, 3-4 part time financing

The crop diversity is maintained by its private and commercial use in gardens and fields and develops further according to the local conditions. The loss of crops and rare breeds is stopped. Diversity in food and agriculture is maintained by a dynamic management system that includes marketing elements and cooperation with many stakeholders from seed to shelf. Build a farmers network for dynamic conservation. Promote the rights and practices of biodiversity actors. Protection of traditional knowledge. Right to save, use exchange and sell farm-saved seeds. Strongly linked to nature conservation institution. Mostly with fruits but seeds as well. Active people coming from university context. Linked to individual farmers selling a product and not connected to a administrative centre. Very active group of scientist based in Gödölö. Has established a network seed house and another group having had close links to the Hungarian genebank Group organizing seed exchanges and plant markets. structure members and donors in Austria, Germany and other countries. 39 employees. 3 branch offices in CH, 1 in DE. 25 employees, donors and gardeners and breeders. 90 collective members. 6 employees. University and regional groups very dependend on few persons. University and nature conservation insitute are coordinating (webpage, database) seeds are stored at Individuals, gardeners, farmers, students. Having a common webpage. Some individual linked to researchers and doing description. Finances coming from: financing

Using pgr from gene bank and CSB. Seed Field 5 Field 3 Seed

Biodiversity Management strategy? Access to pgr ex situ restricted, easy Seed quantity Interaction between genebank and private seed companies? Interaction between NGO and seed comapnies Italy Decentralized ex situ system. Yes: Plan tres is a national network that involves all the actors. 29 Research Centres and Rete semi Rurali as the only NGO and NPO. No But formal interactions with ministry of agric. Yes Easy with smta Enough for Not known? Not known only with Arcoiris Switzerland One CH-genebank Yes: The Swiss commission for the conservation of cultivated plants (CPC-SKEK). Yes with SKEK Yes Easy with smta Enough for Only a few known. E.g. Delley seeds and plants ltd CH-organic seed companies Austria Several genebanks run by regional and federal institutions No: Only for fruits No Yes: Not satisfying Easy with smta Enough for not at all involved in a national biodiv.
