WP1: Assessment of Heritage Sheep Breeds
WP1 ensures the information is available to fully integrate the
project through providing a detailed holistic analysis of the
features of HSBs and the risks to the genetic resources of these
breeds.
A
major output from WP1 includes: a scoring system that can be widely
applied across the Community for prioritisation of HSBs. The data
collected will expand earlier work and information gained from the
ECONOGENE project, the ERFP (European Regional Focal Point) Scoping
Study into HSBs across the EU and the Country Reports on FAnGR (Farm
Animal Genetic Resources) as part of the FAO State of the Worlds
Animal Genetic Resources (for Food and Agriculture). Data collection
and assessment will be undertaken through close interactions with
country representatives and their networks to local communities and
breed societies, including the use of questionnaires and one visit
per country. |
