D. It neglects the loss of habitat

Answer 1

The correct answer is option D. "It neglects the loss of habitat".

Step-by-step explanation:

The main objective of the international treaty on plant genetic resources for food and agriculture is to achieve the conservation and sustainable use of all plant genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits obtained from their use. This treaty is managed by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and is applied in many countries of the world. One of the limitations of this treaty is that it neglects the loss of habitat, which can also affect the availability of plant genetic resources. The international treaty on plant genetic resources is limited to work on loss of biodiversity and management of genetic resources such as seeds.
