Institutes, data providers and networks
FAO assigns WIEWS INSTCODES to organizations and institutes that deal with the conservation and use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. Here some hints for use in Genesys:
-
Institutes
in Genesys are currently unique FAO WIEWS INSTCODES (https://www.genesys-pgr.org/wiews/). - A
data provider
of Genesys, is an organization that has a established Genesys Data Provider Agreement and publishes data on behalf of one or several FAO WIEWS INSTCODES. E.g., EMBRAPA publishes passport data for 21 INSTCODES; The Potato International Center publishes data for one INSTCODE). - A
network
is a set of organizations, grouped by crop type, geography or institutional arrangements. A network can be a data provider (e.g., EURISCO), or a group of institutions publishing data provider individually (e.g., CGIAR). This grouping is helpful for users.
