The preservation of genetic resources is essential for ensuring food security, agricultural sustainability, and biodiversity protection. At the National Gene Bank of Egypt (NGB), we are dedicated to safeguarding the genetic diversity of plant, animal, and microbial species, ensuring they remain available for future generations. Through cutting-edge conservation methods, genetic research, and international collaboration, we work to protect Egypt’s rich natural heritage while driving innovation in agriculture and biotechnology. Our mission extends beyond preservation, NGB actively supports scientific research, breeding programs, and the development of resilient crop varieties that can withstand climate challenges. By maintaining genetic databases, seed banks, and cryopreservation facilities, we enable researchers, farmers, and policymakers to access vital resources that contribute to sustainable food production and environmental conservation. Through strategic partnerships with national and international institutions, NGB strengthens global efforts to conserve biodiversity. We believe that protecting genetic resources today is the key to securing a more sustainable and resilient agricultural future. Our work is not just about preservation, it is about enabling progress, ensuring adaptability, and fostering scientific discovery for the benefit of generations to come.
