Evaluation of Best Practices for Landrace Conservation: Farmer EvaluationGordana Kranjac-Berisavljevic Evaluation of Best Practices for Landrace Conservation: Farmer Evaluation

With effect from 1 December 2006, IPGRI and INIBAP operate under the name "Bioversity International", Bioversity for short. This new name echoes our new strategy, which focuses on improving people's lives through biodiversity research. Bioversity International is an autonomous international scientific organization that seeks to improve the well-being of present and future generations of people by enhancing the conservation and the deployment of agricultural biodiversity on farms and in forests. It is one of 15 centres supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), an association of public and private members who support efforts to mobilize cutting-edge science to reduce hunger and poverty, improve human nutrition and health, and protect the environment. Bioversity has its headquarters in Maccarese, near Rome, Italy, with offices in more than 20 countries worldwide. The institute operates through four programmes: Diversity for Livelihoods, Understanding and Managing Biodiversity, Global Partnerships and Commodities for Livelihoods.

On farm conservation of neglected and underutilized species status trends and novel approaches to cope with Climate Change

NAGRC (Khumaltar, Lalitpur; http://narc.gov.np) The National Agriculture Genetic Resources Center (NAGRC) was established in 2010 under NARC for the conservation and utilization of all agricultural genetic resources including domesticated plants, crop wild relatives and wild edible plants. Agricultural plant genetic resources are managed through ex-situ, on-farm and in-situ conservation and breeding strategies, through the establishment of seed banks, tissue banks, DNA banks, field genebanks and community genebanks, livestock farm genebanks, aqua pond genebanks and cryo banks.

Community Biodiversity Management

Community Biodiversity Management, 2013

The conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity are issues that have been high on the policy agenda since the first Earth Summit in Rio in 1992. As part of efforts to implement in situ conservation, a methodology referred to as community biodiversity management (CBM) has been developed by those engaged in this arena. CBM contributes to the empowerment of farming communities to manage their biological resources and make informed decisions on the conservation and use of agrobiodiversity. This book is the first to set out a clear overview of CBM as a methodology for meeting socio-environmental changes. CBM is shown to be a key strategy that promotes community resilience, and contributes to the conservation of plant genetic resources. The authors present the underlying concepts and theories of CBM as well as its methodology and practices, and introduce case studies primarily from Brazil, Ethiopia, France, India and Nepal. Contributors include farmers, leaders of farmers' organizations, professionals from conservation and development organizations, students and scientists. The book offers inspiration to all those involved in the conservation and use of agrobiodiversity within livelihood development and presents ideas for the implementation of farmers' rights. The wide collection of experiences illustrates the efforts made by communities throughout the world to cope with change while using diversity and engaging in learning processes. It links these grassroots efforts with debates in policy arenas as a means to respond to the unpredictable changes, such as climate change, that communities face in sustaining their livelihoods.
