In 2026, the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture made its first deposit into the Arctic World Archive (AWA). This collection included the Treaty’s official texts in 14 languages, alongside stories from farmers and researchers worldwide.

The International Treaty enables countries to conserve, share, and use vital crop diversity, supporting global food security.
