The starting point in this chapter is that the countries that ratified the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) accepted this convention as an international law. The stage of implementation of the CBD in national regulations differs between the Contracting Parties (countries) of the CBD. The development of a strategic action plan for the utilisation and management of national farm animal genetic resources is proposed as a first step. The sustainable use of farm animal genetic resources is outlined in accordance with the CBD: “the use of the components of biological diversity in a way and at a rate that does not lead to the long-term decline of biological diversity, thereby maintaining its potential to meet the needs and aspirations of present and future generations”. The values of farm animal genetic resources can be categorised as the sum of direct use values and several more hidden values to safeguard genetic diversity as a resource for future production environments and for securing all other potential values of the local breeds. These values are linked to securing future food supply, expressed as satisfaction of society needs. This implies that there should be governmental interest in the long-term effects of breeding schemes, and that this interest is expressed in a national strategic plan for sustainable use of farm animal genetic resources.
