◊ Has your country identified ways and means to address the potential impacts of genetic use restriction technologies on the In-situ and Ex-situ conservation and sustainable use, including food security, of agricultural biological diversity? (decision V/5)
No
No, but potential measures are under review
Yes, some measures identified (please provide details below)
Yes, comprehensive measures identified (please provide details below)
Further information on ways and means to address the potential impacts of genetic use restriction technologies on the In-situ and Ex-situ conservation and sustainable use of agricultural biodiversity.
Genetic technologies restricting development of agrobiodiversity are not use in Armenia. The technologies applied in agriculture are used only for such processes as agricultural plants breeding, rapid reproduction of decorative cultures, obtaining new, non-viral sorts of agricultural crops, etc. The research and activities are not broad in this sphere, so they can not restrict in-situ and ex-situ conservation of agrobiodiversity.
