Crop Trust
Securing our food, forever.
Why Support Crop Diversity?
The world is losing crop diversity and crop relatives in the wild at an alarming rate. This diversity is important for a healthy food supply in the face of climate change and other environmental pressures. If we rely on only a few crops, we miss opportunities to develop new crops or revive existing varieties for food security and global well-being.
Crop diversity that is safely conserved and available to researchers and farmers provides options to respond to an uncertain future. A diversity of crops and diversity within crops give us diverse opportunities.
By donating to the Crop Trust, you invest in the conservation of crop diversity and make it available for use forever and for the benefit of everyone.

Coffee Forever
Coffee's future depends on diversity Coffee faces a changing climate, and new pests and diseases threaten the plants farmers depend on. Protecting coffee's diversity today gives scientists and breeders more options to develop resilient coffee varieties that adapt to tomorrow’s challenges. Around the world, genebanks safeguard this diversity by conserving different coffee plants, including cultivated varieties and wild relatives. Each may carry valuable traits that can be used to protect coffee crops in the future. Your donation helps protect coffee diversity, keeping more possibilities alive for the coffee of tomorrow. Visit Coffee Forever to learn more.
