DivSeek are being establishing a number of Working Groups to actively engage DivSeek Partners in addressing issues of importance to the DivSeek community.

The Working Groups are tasked with advancing the mission and aims of DivSeek to help harness the power of crop diversity for food and nutritional security and for societal and economic benefits. Diverse working groups will seek to enable gene banks, breeders, farmers and researchers to more efficiently access and mobilize genetic variation in order to accelerate crop improvement and sustainably provide food and agricultural products to the growing human population.
