Resumen
Descripción
Payments for Agrobiodiversity Conservation Services (PACS) is an on-farm incentive mechanism that promotes the conservation and use of valuable crop and livestock genetic resources, supporting commitments under, inter alia, the CBD, ITPGRFA and national legislation. The approach has resulted in a multi-stakeholder research for development platform which also addresses fundamental conservation and use management issues along the way. These include goal setting and prioritization for genetic resource conservation, participatory baseline assessment, in situ/on farm conservation incentives, monitoring, agrobiodiversity, Red Listing, and long-term funding strategies. Piloted and rigorously tested over 15 years - supporting thousands of poor farmers in Latin America, Africa and Asia - PACS now has a high degree of scaling-readiness and provides a template for global applications.
