Indicators
2.5.1
2.5.2
Definition
The indicator shows how many plant and animal genetic resources are preserved in gene banks and other long-term facilities. The purpose is to safeguard genetic diversity, which is essential for future food production, breeding, and adaptation to challenges such as diseases and climate change. The figures cover both livestock breeds and plant genetic materials such as seeds and cuttings, reflecting Denmark’s contribution to conserving agricultural biodiversity.
