Agrotraining ­ Proofing GBIF use on agrobiodiversity through needs assessment and training

  • WEBPAGE
  • International Research Project
  • 2016 to 2017
Summary:

"A GBIF goal is to enlarge its biodiversity databases use by researchers and technicians working in agrobiodiversity. Providing quality information on biodiversity to be applied in research and development will benefit livelihoods, including food security. A Task Group was recently commissioned to assess the fitness for use of data related to biodiversity, published through GBIF. The task group's report includes a series of recommendations that, when implemented, would enhance their intended operational use by the main players in agrobiodiversity and their broader community, including breeders, farmers and farmer associations. This project aims at building on and expanding this expectation."
