Who we are?

Many of the world's national genebanks, responsible for the safeguarding and availability of their country's plant genetic resource (PGR) collections, have developed their own information technology (IT) needed to document and manage their collections electronically. The Global Crop Diversity Trust (The Trust) recognized the common needs of the world's genebanks and the resources being expended by many genebanks or consortia independently (Global Crop Diversity Trust, 2006) and consequently established the GRIN-Global project (GRIN-Global, 2009).
