The current status of ex situ/in situ conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) and issues related to their management was surveyed in Nagano Prefecture. Genetic resources from numerous PGRFA landraces and local varieties have been collected by the Gene bank Project to date.However,most of these varieties have disappeared,particularly those of major cereals and grain legumes, due to changes in agriculture and rural/modern lifestyles.Formalization of the seed-production system from a local system to a larger-scale seed system, combined with initiatives like the ‘Shinshu traditional vegetable’certification system would facilitate the conservation of PGRFA at the farm level.
