RECURSOS FITOGENÉTICOS Y PROTOCOLO DE NAGOYA: MODELO DE OPERACIÓN EN MÉXICO

Abstract

Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA) provide food, medicines, clothing, fiber and energy, among other benefits and are the basis for the classical plant breeding and participatory assisted to improve quality, productivity, and stability of crops livelihood systems. It has recently been discovered through bioprospecting and characterization of some domesticated genotypes, in the process of domestication and even wild relatives, values that are different from the known use and that give them added value in different economic sectors, with emphasis on product development, active ingredients, pigments, biomaterials, energy, among others. Generally genotypes are in rural areas (socially owned) or genebanks, which requires cooperative agreements, transfer or facilitated access. Based on assumptions of the Nagoya Protocol (NP) which is derived from the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), an operating model designed for PN, considering two scenarios status of a genetic resource (RG), considering stakeholders (Japan), suppliers (Mexico) and partners in order to operate. The results show the critical path PN operating genebank and PGRFA social property located in Mexico that generate projects and benefits.
