Below you’ll find resources, partner organisations, and tools to share this work with others.
The Forces Driving the Revolution
These are just a few of the global institutions whose work underpins the plant genetics revolution — from seed conservation to sustainable farming research.








Crop Trust
Preserving the foundation of future crops
The Crop Trust funds and coordinates long-term seed conservation, helping protect crop diversity in gene banks around the world. Its mission is to ensure that the foundation of food security — genetic diversity — is safely conserved and readily available for future generations.
CGIAR
Global Science for Food Security
CGIAR is a global partnership of research centres dedicated to transforming food, land, and water systems. Its work includes plant breeding, climate-resilient crops, seed distribution, and agricultural policy across more than 100 countries.



FAO Plant Treaty
Enabling Global Seed Sharing
Formally known as the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, this agreement enables countries to share seeds and genetic material globally. It helps ensure that plant science and biodiversity remain accessible, equitable, and in the public interest.
John Innes Centre
Plant Genetics & Genomics Research
A world leader in plant science and genetics, the John Innes Centre conducts advanced research into crop traits, plant immunity, and genomic mapping — helping breeders develop stronger, more resilient varieties for the future of farming.



Bioversity International
Agrobiodiversity for Resilience
Bioversity International works at the intersection of agrobiodiversity, nutrition, and sustainable farming. It supports smallholder farmers, especially in the Global South, to improve resilience through diverse crops and local seed systems.
