Descripción
The policy briefing outlines key policy implications for mainstreaming ecosystem approaches into the agricultural sector of Pacific Island Countries (PICs). In particular, the document highlights key challenges for the agricultural sector in PICs, related to the misuse of agrochemicals coming from an increased industrialization of farming systems across the islands. Ecosystem services approaches to farming have the potential to support the conservation of natural resources, while at the same tim e offering an opportunity for sustainably intensifying farming systems. The document also gives a summary of key issues relevant to PICs that will be looked at more in depth in an upcoming technical guidance document, produced in collaboration with the CBD and regional partners SPREP and SPC.
