beautiful shades of red, orange, and yellow. Bales of hay, apples, and
chrysanthemum—affectionately referred to as ‘mums’—are everywhere.
Halloween festivities like trick-or-treating or pumpkin carving bring
families together. It’s better together. <BR>
<BR>‘Better Together’ is the theme of the current 80th session of
the UN General Assembly (UNGA). UNGA 80 comes at a pivotal moment. Amid
waning trust in multilateralism, solidarity is needed more than ever.
Today’s issue looks at ongoing efforts to renew global commitment to
international cooperation while responding to shared challenges. So grab

the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and
Agriculture (ITPGRFA) next month, we revisited <A

GB 11 is expected to finalize years of talks aiming to enhance the
functioning of the Treaty’s Multilateral System (MLS) of access and
benefit-sharing (ABS)—the largest global exchange mechanism for plant
genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA). The idea is to help
leverage and share plant genetic resources to address complex challenges
such as food insecurity, biodiversity loss, and climate change, although
principled differences remain on practically all major issues, including
digital sequence information/genetic sequence data (DSI/GSD) on PGRFA—and
the payment structure and rates under the revised Standard Material
Transfer Agreement (SMTA) used for PGRFA exchanges and
benefit-sharing.</P>
