Crop Wild Relatives | Crop Science Society of America

Did you know that one in five plant species is facing extinction? Its Crop Wild Relative Week (Sept 22-29) and public gardens everywhere are on a mission to raise awareness about the power of these plants and the urgent action that is needed to protect North America's native plant genetic resources.

Biodiversity is the foundation of plant breeding and crop improvement. This week raises attention about these plants and their genetic resources for crop improvement and the longevity of our agriculture and food supply.

The wild relatives of food plants are threatened with extinction at the same time that our agricultural crops are increasingly vulnerable to climate change. These crop genetic resources are required to improve crops and develop new ones in order to adapt agriculture to a changing climate. Today's conserved species might be the crops of tomorrow.
