National Gene Bank stocks over 7,700 samples
The National Gene Bank of Tunisia has successfully retrieved over 7,700 genetic samples since 2008, including 1,705 samples of forage seeds from the Australian Gene Bank, with the aim of protecting genetic heritage and strengthening food sovereignty. Tunisia has also made significant progress in collecting, preserving, and characterizing plant and animal genetic resources. These efforts have contributed to enhancing national food security and combating climate change. The bank faces financial challenges and a lack of specialized expertise, but it considers genetic resources a strategic asset that bolsters national sovereignty and security.
