  5. Why an Executive Order? • serves as a domestic framework for PGRFA consistent with the Treaty • serves as framework for cooperation of stakeholders (departments, state colleges and universities, CSOs) Takes into account existing laws and mandates of agencies • DA and agencies • DENR • Institute of Plant Breeding

  6. Preamble • Wildlife, flora and fauna and other natural resources are owned by State (1987 Philippine Constitution, Art. XII, Section 2) • States have sovereign rights over their own biological resources (Convention on Biological Diversity) • Access and Technology Transfer essential to achieving conservation of biological diversity, sustainable use, and fair and equitable sharing of benefits (CBD, Articles 15 and 16), Nagoya Protocol • Domestic laws and regulations govern access to biological resources: Joint DENR-DA-PCSD-NCIP AO No 1 Series of 2005 or the Bioprospecting Guidelines • Separate Regulations on Facilitated access to plant genetic resources for food and agriculture starting with Annex I materials (International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and agriculture)

  7. Chapter I. Declaration of Policy • Promote an integrated approach to the exploration, conservation, protection and sustainable use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture • Recognize the enormous contribution of local and indigenous communities and farmers in the conservation and development of such resources • Conserve, protect and encourage the sustainable use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture and their habitats • Promote the collection of PGRFA and relevant associated information on PGR that are under threat or are of potential use

  8. Chapter I. Declaration of Policy • Promote and Support Farmers’ and local and indigenous communities’ efforts to manage and conserve on-farm their PGRFA so that they can continue to be stewards and innovators of agro-biodiversity • Promote in-situ conservation of wild relatives and wild plants for food production, including in protected areas by supporting efforts of local and indigenous communities • Promote the development of an efficient and sustainable ex-situ conservation and the development and transfer of appropriate technologies for such with a view to improving the sustainable use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture

  9. Chapter I. Declaration of Policy SUSTAINABLE USE: • Pursue fair agricultural polices that promote the development and maintenance of diverse farming systems that enhance the sustainable use of agricultural biodiversity and other natural resources • Strengthen research which enhances and conserves biological diversity by maximizing intra- and inter-specific variation for the benefit of farmers, especially those who generate and use their own varieties and apply ecological principles in maintaining soil fertility and combating diseases, weeds and pests; • Promote plant breeding which strengthen the capacity to develop varieties particularly adapted to social, economic, and ecological conditions in the country, including marginal areas • Broaden the genetic base of crops/increase range of genetic diversity

  10. Chapter I. Declaration of Policy SUSTAINABLE USE: • Promote the expanded use of locally adapted corps, varieties and underutilized species • Supporting the wider use of diversity of varieties and species in on-farm management, conservation, and sustainable use of crops • Review and adjust breeding strategies and regulations

  11. Chapter I. Declaration of Policy SCOPE OF APPLICATION: • Covers all plant genetic resources for food and agriculture in the country including protected areas under RA 7586 NIPAS, marginal areas and critical habitats. • Will also apply to traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources within the scope of the Convention including benefits arising from the utilization of such knowledge. • Delineates access to PGRFA listed in annex I of the ITPGRFA and those that are not (non-Annex I PGRFA.) • Does not apply to ex situ collections of PGRFA which are held in trust by the International Agricultural Research Centers (IARCs) of the Consultative Group on International Agriculture Research and other international institutions provided that such research centers have executed agreement with the Governing Board of the Treaty with regard to their ex situ collections in accordance with the terms and conditions provides in the Treaty

  12. Chapter III.Conservation And Protection Of Plant Genetic Resources For Food And Agriculture DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Serves as Focal Point for the Implementation of the Treaty • National repository of information on plant genetic resources • DA will survey and within one year from the effectivity of this Order, establish a databank of PGRFA found in the country, taking into account the status and degree of variation found in populations, including those that are of potential use and, as feasible, assess any threats to them • Ensure compliance by government agencies, whether national or local, public research institutions and government-owned and controlled corporations of obligations relating to the MLS

  13. Chap. III: Continuation Department of Agriculture • Act as a Clearing House for purposes of communicating and coordinating with the FAO on matters relating to the Treaty but not limited to submission of crops for inclusion in the Multilateral system • Collaborate with the FAO and other international organizations • to develop the capacity of local communities, indigenous communities, small farmers and local scientists and researchers in conservation, protection and sustainable use of PGRFA • strengthen the Global Information System to facilitate the exchange of information on scientific and technical and environmental matters relating to PGRFA and thus the sharing of benefits accruing from such exchange

  14. Chap. III: Continuation ACCESS TO PLANT GENETIC RESOURCES Categories of PGR: • Annex I (ITPRGRFA) • negotiated by Parties • governed by the Multilateral System of Exchange/SMTA • facilitated through the Standard Material Transfer Agreement • research, breeding and training • All Other PGRFA or Non-Annex I • access allowed only upon compliance with bioprospecting law and regulations which required prior informed consent (RA 9147) • MTA Plus/BU • Biosprospecting/Academic/Scientific Research
