Global Strategy for the Ex Situ Conservation of Potato - Global Crop ...

Annex 3 Questionnaire on potato collections
Lead Institute: Centre for Genetic Resources, The Netherlands (Dr. L. Visser)
Facilitator /contact scientist: Ir. Loek J. M. van Soest
Background
The Global Crop Diversity Trust is supporting efforts to develop strategies for the efficient and effective
conservation of crop diversity on both a regional and global crop basis. The Trust has thus commissioned the
Centre for Genetic Resources, The Netherlands (CGN) to coordinate the development of a global potato
conservation strategy. This questionnaire has been developed in order to seek the advice and input of
representatives of the world’s major potato collections in the development of the conservation strategy. In
particular the questionnaire seeks to assess the status of potato conservation throughout the world and to identify
major needs. It is intended that the Global Crop Diversity Trust will base its support for the conservation of potato
genetic resources on this strategy, once developed and adopted.
As a key curator of potato collection, we kindly request you to complete the questionnaire. The Centre for Genetic
Resources is keen to ensure your active participation in the development of the global potato conservation
strategy and will be pleased to keep your informed on its progress and consult you during the development until
completion.
