Descripción
This is the summary version of a report on the rapid economic assessment of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) in Japan. The assessment was conducted by Mitsubishi UFJ Research and Consulting Co., Ltd. The full report is available in Japanese.
This report focuses on the Objective 2 of the GIAHS Programme, namely to “generate income and add economic value to goods and services of such systems in a sustainable fashion”. After 10 years since the first GIAHS site was designated in Japan, this assessment sheds light on the economic impacts of the GIAHS sites. First, the report presents the elements to be measured in order to assess the economic impacts of the GIAHS sites, and conducts a preliminary analysis. Then, the report identifies the areas where the economic impacts due to the GIAHS designation have realized, focusing mainly on the main produce and services of the designated areas. The report also describes opportunities for generating income. Finally, it highlights the issues that the GIAHS sites face after designation, and brings forward proposals for future GIAHS activities, for the sustainable conservation of GIAHS.
