Geographical Area: The Republic of Moldova, without the left side of the river Nistru and the municipality of Bender

Unit of Measurement: number

Footnote: The table shows data on the number of genetic resources of animal origin for food and agriculture preserved ex situ, in situ/on farm in the medium or long term

This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Moldovan statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Moldovan-specific metadata information.

Indicator

Indicator 2.5.1: Number of plant and animal genetic resources for food and agriculture conserved ex situ, in situ/on farm in the medium or long term
Definition and concepts

Conservation of genetic resources in agriculture - a modality of ensuring with necessary resources so as to meet the challenges caused by diseases, pests and new and appearing climate changes. Researchers use the specific nature of animals, crops or wild species for different purposes, such as tolerance to salinity, resistance to diseases and adaptability to climate changes. Also offers the producers the necessary diversity for adapting the markets to changes.

Method of computation
<p>Indicator is composed of two components which are calculated separately.</p> <p> 1) Plant genetic resources: total number of single samples of plant genetic resources secured in medium- or long-term conservation facilities. </p> <p> This should include all the samples of basic collections and single samples stored in medium-term conservation facilities as active collections only when these samples are considered part of national basic collections. The basic collections may include seeds’ collections, field, crio-preserved, in vitro, depending of the preserved species and available facilities in the country.</p> <p> 2) Animal genetic resources: number of local breeds with sufficient genetic material stored in the gene bank collections, which allow reconstructing the breed in case of disappearance (according to the Guides for crio-preserving animal genetic resources, FAO, 2012)</p>

Indicator

Indicator 2.5.1: Number of (a) plant and (b) animal genetic resources for food and agriculture secured in either medium- or long-term conservation facilities
Target

Target 2.5: By 2020, maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and their related wild species, including through soundly managed and diversified seed and plant banks at the national, regional and international levels, and promote access to and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, as internationally agreed
