FAO is the global governmental body concerned with the creation of policy and the development of structures which guide the application of policy. RBI is the global NGO counterpart which Works to facilitate delivery of programmes to support and promote native FAnGR. The 8th RBI Global Conference, hosted by Namık Kemal University, provides a platform to examine and develop the opportunities for ongoing and expanding cooperation within the context of new technologies and progressive science. Reports of both breed survival and the ability of some endangered breeds to compete in the marketplace provide evidence of the efficacy of these policies and programmes” CONFERENCE PROGRAMME (4-8 October, 2011) Tuesday, 4th October 2011 14:00 - 16:00 Delegates check into the hotel Board meeting: 16:00 - 17:30 RBI Board Meeting (only for RBI board members and delegates of Scientific and Organising Committee) Wednesday, 5th October 2011 08:00 - 9:30 Registration 09:30 - 10:30 Opening ceremony 10:30 - 10:40 Coffee break Plenary session Chairperson: Prof. Dr. Inci TOGAN 10:40 - 11:05 FAO representative Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic Resources 11:05 - 11:40 Lawrence Alderson (RBI; Rare Breed International) Sustainable Conservation of AGR through Cooperative Networks 11:40 - 12:05 A.
