Explanation:

Statement 1: The Crop Trust is an established independent organization under international law.
The Crop Trust was founded in 2004 in Rome, Italy by the Food and Agriculture Organization and Bioversity International on behalf of the CGIAR international agricultural research consortium.
Throughout its 10-year history, the Crop Trust has made significant leaps in ensuring the conservation and availability of crop diversity for food security world-wide.
Statement 2 and 3: In 2006, the Crop Trust entered into an agreement with the governing body of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture.
The agreement recognises the Crop Trust as an "essential element" of the treaty's funding strategy in regards to the ex situ conservation and availability of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.
It also confirms the autonomy of the Crop Trust as a scientific organization in raising and disbursing funds.
