Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF), Chennai and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nation (FAO) Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, Bangkok, organised an Asia-Pacific Regional Consultation at Chennai in August 2014. Several background papers were prepared for discussion at the conference.
