Criteria for identification and assessment of agro-biodiversity heritage sites: Evolving sustainable agriculture
2008
Overview
Need for identification and value assessment of agro-biodiversity heritage sites in the context of recent Acts has been highlighted to facilitate conservation and evolution of sustainable agriculture. Six indices reflecting agriculture providing livelihood support; custodianship of irreplaceable natural resources; continued co-evolution and development of new agro-biodiversity responding to changing scenario; intangible religious, artistic and cultural association; locals' ingenuity responding to changing scenario and ability to adapt external inputs are proposed for identification of National Agro-biodiversity Heritage/Hotspot Sites (NAHS). Value assessment for conservation and use is being suggested, based on biophysical and landscape, social and cultural, and economic values. An action plan need to be developed for use of products, practices and knowledge from NAHS, ensuring empowerment and benefit sharing to locals within the frame work of national legislations, such as the Biological Diversity Act and the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers' Rights Act.
