Using local agricultural biodiversity - A Kenyan farmer's story
Peninah Mwangangi has a smallholder farm in the arid region of Kitui, in eastern Kenya. She explains how using local traditional food crops have helped mitigate against harvest loss when the rains don't come. This is the third story in our 'Fork in the Road' series as part of our Rio+20 campaign.
Why understanding forest genetic resources is vital for future options
Laura Snook Programme Leader, Forest Genetic Resources Conservation and Use, talks about the need to harness the huge genetic diversity of different tree species to face challenges such as climate change and find sustainable ways to use and conserve it for our future. This video is the latest from our Rio+20 campaign blog.

On farm conservation, neglected and underutilized species, and climate change - a new international effort
Bioversity, working with partners in India, Nepal and Bolivia, has launched a new international project - Reinforcing the resilience of poor rural communities in the face of food insecurity, poverty and climate change through on-farm conservation of local agrobiodiversity.
The project will enhance and support the on-farm conservation of neglected and underutilized crops.
The 3-year project builds on ten years of recently completed research by Bioversity International and partners on Neglected and Underutilized species in South and West Asia, Latin America and North Africa (watch the short video to learn more).
