Cereals: Relevance for European Research
• Wheat and barley: Most cultivated crops
• Tightening markets for cereals, in particular wheat: Drop in world 2007/8 production in EU-27 due to climatic conditions, increasing demand for food, feed and biofuels, price spike due to structural imbalances in world food chain
• Production trend: Stagnating, decreasing yields?
• (European) Durum wheat production declining sincepeak in 2004/2005
Overall challenge for crop researchand pre-breeding:
How can we maintain high levels of production or produce more with less ? Need for….
• Increased knowledge of the genetic and physiological basis of key traits (e.g. resource efficiency, drought tolerance, disease resistance)
• Tools to increase breeding efficiency • Better use of genetic resources: Increase
diversity within and between crops • Combining genetic advances with agronomic
practices/innovations (GxMxE interactions)

Community programme on conservation, characterisation, collection and utilisation of genetic resources in agriculture
• To promote genetic diversity, exchange of information and co-ordination between Member States and EC
• To facilitate co-ordination in the field of international undertakings on genetic resources
• Budget: 10 million €• Funding of Actions (12 on plant genetic resources),
involving 178 partners located in 25 Member States and 12 non EU countries
• Projects started in 2007 for max.4 years• Follow-up foreseen?

Outlook
• Positive policy context to raise awareness to conservation and pre-breeding work (biodiversity– climate change – food security)
• Use of momentum to highlight research needsand benefits
• Build broad support for research areas (public, private, EU, international) through variousmechanisms. EU level: e.g. Commission, Member States/Programme Committe/, ETPs
• WP 2011/ 2012 are coming….
