ABSTRACT
The process leading to the adoption of an International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) has been developed in other chapters of this book. This allows starting from the perspective of the Latin American and Caribbean region (LAC), instead of repeating in detail what the scenario was during the last part of the second half of the 20th century, and the complex and at the same time interesting process leading to the adoption of the first environmental multilateral agreement of the 21st century.
