There are traditional and indigenous agricultural systems which contain Agricultural Biodiversity of Global Significance (ABGS). In the proposed project, we will apply the CBD definition of agricultural biodiversity. Building on articles 8j and 10c of the CBD, which recognise the importance of indigenous and traditional practices for the maintenance of GSDB, the proposed project will facilitate both international and national support for the continuity of the actual practices that support the maintenance and adaptation of ABGS.
