Dachverband Kulturpflanzen- und Nutztiervielfalt e.V.

The umbrella organisation for crop and livestock diversity aims to counteract the progressive loss of biodiversity in agriculture.

Crop varieties and livestock breeds need to be conserved and used in the context of agriculture and home gardens. Gene banks only constitute a useful backup system in case of emergencies, as they do not allow for the continuous adaptation of plants and animals to climatic changes and to pests and diseases present in our gardens, fields, pastures and meadows.

Accordingly, the knowledge and skills needed to cultivate these crop varieties and rear these animal breeds, to take advantage of their special properties and to handle their products correctly can only be maintained and shared by practical experience.

The member organisations cooperate by sharing technical knowledge and experience relevant to their conservation work, in the areas of public relations and education, as well as fundraising and realisation of projects. They jointly represent their interests vis-à-vis policy decision makers.
Specifically, regarding environmental policy, agricultural policy, research policy, conservation policy, plant reproductive material legislation, plant an animal health legislation
