Plant genetic resources form the biological basis for all plant-based agricultural production. In the genetic diversity lie opportunities to adjust, improve and adapt the crop production to current or future needs. In addition, the diversity of species and varieties in Norwegian agriculture represents an important part of our cultural heritage. Conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources is a global concern and FAO has established a global action plan that highlights priorities for conservation and use of plant genetic diversity at national level. This report points to results, trends and challenges within this field in Norway and is the Norwegian contribution to the FAO report "Third State of the World's Plant Genetic Resources" (expected 2023).

Norsk genressurssenter har, i samarbeid med Norsk Sau og Geit, raselag og avlsbesetninger, kartlagt forekomsten av blant annet finnegenvarianten hos rygjasau, steigarsau, grå trøndersau og gammelnorsk spælsau. I tillegg har vi sett på genetiske distanser mellom norske saueraser.

Sustainable water resources management roots in monitoring data reliability and a full engagement of all institutions involved in the water sector. When competences and interests are overlapping, however, coordination may be difficult, thus hampering cooperative actions. This is the case of Santa Cruz Island (Galápagos, Ecuador). A comprehensive assessment on water quality data (physico-chemical parameters, major elements, trace elements and coliforms) collected since 1985 revealed the need of optimizing monitoring efforts to fill knowledge gaps and to better target decision-making processes. A Water Committee (Comité de la gestión del Agua) was established to foster the coordinated action among stakeholders and to pave the way for joint monitoring in the island that can optimize the efforts for water quality assessment and protection. Shared procedures for data collection, sample analysis, evaluation and data assessment by an open-access geodatabase were proposed and implemented for the first time as a prototype in order to improve accountability and outreach towards civil society and water users. The overall results reveal the high potential of a well-structured and effective joint monitoring approach within a complex, multi-stakeholder framework.
