Few cultivated species dominated  the bulk of global food consumption and compete with indigenous and local cultivated plants, domesticated animals, and their threatened wild relatives in which indigenous peoples and local communities based their food systems and their livelihoods strategy. A highest number of domesticated species and their wild  relatives are threatened by conventional and industrial agricultural practices through the use of improved and genetically modified organisms. the food crisis of 2008 showed how the use of a limited number of cultivated species can threatened for human security. In order to reverse this trends, this target seeks to ensure increased attention on genetic biodiversity, its values and protection. Priority interventions call for inventories of genetic species will be carried to identify threatened species requiring protection and marketable species. With a focus on plant genetic diversity, management programmes for identified species will be developed and implemented. Hotspots for genetic agro-biodiversity will be identified to protect their erosion. Genetic species with potentials for commercialisation will be valorised and cultivated species promoted.
