National Gene Bank recovers 7700+ samples
The National Gene Bank in Tunisia has successfully retrieved over 7,745 samples of plant and animal genetic resources, including 1,705 forage seed samples from the Australian Gene Bank, with the aim of preserving the national genetic heritage and enhancing food sovereignty. The results confirm Tunisia’s progress in managing genetic resources, through the development of a national database and the characterization of threatened resources, enabling local varieties to face climate change and strengthen food security and agricultural sustainability. Although the bank faces financial challenges and capacity constraints, it remains a strategic pillar in supporting food sovereignty and national security.
