| V. Future plans A. Participants strongly recommend to IBPGR and collaborating national governments that another workshop similar to this one be organized and held within 3 to 4 years. IBPGR and collaborating international agricultural research institutes might sponsor such a workshop to assess progress and to develop continuing action plans for conservation for ice genetic resources. B. An organizing committee should be set up in the immediate future to develop plans for a comprehensive Seed Science Workshop to be held within the next 2 years. C. Definite plans should be made to request nations that have areas of rich diversity of wild types to preserve such areas as natural reserves. Living collections, particularly of wild species, should also be maintained at two or more locations. |
