In Hanoi from 4 to 6 November 2026<\/strong>, <\/strong>Under<\/strong> the permision of The Ministry of Agriculture and Enviroment (MAE), <\/strong>Vietnam Academy of Forest Sciences (VAFS) in collaboration with World Agroforestry (ICRAF), organized the Regional Genebank Workshop under the theme \u201cSpecies Prioritization and Building a Roadmap for High-quality Tree Seed Production and Conservation Production Orchards.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The workshop will provide a forum for sharing knowledge and experience and strengthening cooperation in the conservation, development and sustainable use of tree genetic resources. Participants will also discuss approaches to improving seed quality to support tree planting, landscape restoration and agroforestry development.<\/p>\n

To hold a dialogue with national partners from the Southeast Asian region to introduce the principles of high-quality tree seed production through lowinput diversity tree breeding, and using these principles to design conservation production orchards (CPOs) as a new strategy for field genebanks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Discussions will focus on principles for designing breeding programmes for a diverse range of tree species with appropriate levels of investment to produce high-quality seed; the Conservation Production Orchard (CPO) model, which combines field-based genetic resource conservation with seed production; and tools and methods for identifying priority species. Through technical exchanges and consultation, participants will develop an initial list of priority species by region to guide the establishment of high-quality seed production areas and conservation production orchards.<\/p>\n
