Crop wild relatives prosjektet

Launched in 2011, the CWR Project – “Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: Collecting, Protecting and Preparing Crop Wild Relatives” – was designed to identify, collect, conserve and use the wild cousins of some of our most important food crops.

This ten-year, global initiative is managed by the Crop Trust in collaboration with the Millennium Seed Bank (MSB) at Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew.

It is implemented in partnership with national and international genebanks and plant breeding programs around the world, and made possible thanks to a US$50 million commitment by the Government of Norway.
