Preserving the past to secure the future of agriculture
Egypt is home to a rich diversity of plant, animal, and microbial genetic resources that have sustained agriculture for centuries. But with modern challenges like climate change and habitat loss, how do we ensure their survival?
The National Gene Bank of Egypt (NGB) is at the forefront of conservation efforts, safeguarding seeds, livestock genetics, and microbial strains for research, breeding, and food security. Through advanced techniques like cryopreservation, seed banking, and molecular genetics, NGB is creating a genetic safety net for future generations.
Every seed stored, every species studied, and every partnership forged strengthens our ability to adapt and thrive. Want to know how genetic conservation impacts your daily life? Stay tuned for more insights into NGB’s work!
