What is agricultural biodiversity?

It includes all components of biological diversity of relevance to food and agriculture:

the variety and variability of plants, animals and micro-organisms

at genetic, species and ecosystem level which are necessary to sustain

key functions in the agro-ecosystem, its structures and processes.

Local knowledge and cultural diversity can be considered an essential part of agrobiodiversity as it is the human activity of agriculture which conserves this biodiversity.

Importance (value) of biodiversity in agricultural ecosystems

In agricultural systems biodiversity is important 1. for the production of food, fibre, fuel, fodder...(goods) 2. to conserve the ecological foundations to sustain life (life

support function) 3. to allow adaptation to changing situations 4. and to sustain rural peoples’ livelihoods (sustainable

agriculture – food security, income, employment,...)

Specificity: it has been developed through human intervention over generations and it requires human management to sustain it.

Need to address all components of agrobiodiversity

• Habitat diversity (mosaic of land uses varies with soil and terrain, hedges, borders, trees in the landscape; farm type)

• Inter-species diversity (plant, animal and microbial)• Inter-species diversity (very important for agrobiodiversity) genetic

resources, unique traits –resistance to drought, cold, disease, etc, rooting, aspect, taste, storage, etc.

• Harvested species and Associated species (pollinators, beneficial/harmful predators, soil organisms – health/ disease,…)

• as well as Cultural diversity (type of farmer and farm; regulations; common property resources/ownership)

• and to understand implication of agrobiodiversity on ecosystem functions/processes and the services provided (see adapted Table by J. Paruel, Environmental controls and effect of land use on ecosystem functioning in temperate Argentina)

Farmers managing …

• Sumber: Sally Bunning. Land Management Officer, Land and Water Development Division, FAO of the UN

Farmers, even in the poorest and most food-insecure regions of the world, manage genes by their decisions on crop varieties, manage species by their

decisions on farm animals and manage ecosystems by their decisions on soil or pollinators (Kenmore, 2002)

A simple description of the linkages between the “managers” of natural resources and the different components of biodiversity; genes, species and

ecosystems.

Examples of specific situation can provide you an idea of the diverse needs of the natural resource management communities to be considered in observing and

monitoring biodiversity

The situations which I will be presenting are case studies highlighted during a satellite event on the occasion of the 9th Regular session of the commission on

genetic resources for food and agriculture.

The examples will cover agricultural, aquatic and forest biodiversity highlighting the need for a wide variety of data and information.

Throughout this overview, reference will also be made to international framework and conventions

Understanding Human Pressures on and threats to agricultural biodiversity

Increasing pressure on species and their environments:• Population growth and poverty (increasing demand)• Overexploitation, mismanagement• Expansion into wetlands and fragile areas• Intensification and Specialisation of agriculture – market forces• Pollution• Urbanisation, changing consumption patterns, globalisationThreats and risks • loss of plant and animal species • loss of plant varieties and animal races/breeds (loss of unique traits)• also loss of essential natural processes

– pollination by insects, birds, bats etc.– regeneration of soils by micro-organisms

• also reduced resilience.

Need to increase resilience of agriculture and human capacity to adapt (to harsh periods, drought, climate change, pests, diseases) by maintaining a

wide array of life forms with unique traits (e.g. trees that survive drought or cattle that reproduce in harsh conditions).

Wide range of case studies illustrate Sustainable Use of agrobiodiversity

• Integrated agro-ecological approaches : IPM, soil biological management • Community-based adaptive management – animal and plant genetic

resources, diverse farming systems• Local knowledge systems

– multiple uses of species (diet, nutrition, medicines; gender differentiated knowledge of agrobiodiversity

– community perspectives/strategies in managing crop and livestock and associated biodiversity; coping strategies for HIV/AIDS, climate change)

• Ecosystem approach: address all components, systems functioning and services and human management (cf. EA principles)

• Strengthening viability of farm-livelihood systems with under-utilized and under-valued biodiversity (opportunities; options)– grasslands (grazing species preference, productivity; deep roots-below ground

biomass)– mountains (adaptation to altitude, cold; disease resilience, etc.) – marketing (diverse products, niche markets, organic agriculture, etc.– recognition of positive externalities (valuing ecological services provided by

biodiversity associated with agricultural systems)

Need to use common Agricultural DefinitionsSustainable agriculture is ecologically sound, environmentally sustainable,

economically viable, socially just and culturally appropriate … is based on a holistic scientific approach and productive over the long term.

Farm System : the farm household, its resources, and the resource flows and interactions at this individual farm level

Farming System: a population of individual farm systems that have broadly similar resource bases, enterprise patterns, household livelihoods and constraints

Sustainable agricultural systems provide a range of goods (food, fuel, fibre, materials, etc.) and services (also considered as positive externalities)

Need to select indicators for monitoring sustainability: • soil (sustained health + productivity, prevent soil erosion, minimise off-site

impacts, ... ); • water (water retention, maintain water regime, flood protection, etc); • vegetation (protective land cover, structure, biomass, C sequestration)• biodiversity (resilience, adaptability, opportunities) conservation of wildlife and

wild species; agricultural biodiversity: genetic resources inter- and intra- species, farmed and associated species, ecosystem functions,

• air quality (minimise greenhouse gas emissions)• rural amenities (e.g. landscape, tourism).

Soil biodiversity and its management Managing termites and organic mulch for soil productivity by

researchers in Burkina Faso: Surface mulch applied to crusted soils was used to stimulate termite feeding and burrowing. This lead to improved soil structures, better

aggregate formation, and enhanced soil function. Mixing and burrowing of termites can be stimulated by applying organic mulch and their

feeding can promote soil regenerative activities

• Sumber: Sally Bunning. Land Management Officer, Land and Water Development Division, FAO of the UN

I would like to refer to a case study in the Sahel region, an in particular in Burkina Faso. ---Case study – Burkina Faso: « Managing termites and organic resources to improve soil productivit in the Sahel » http://www.fao.org/AG/AGL/agll/soilbiod/cases/caseA2.pdf

This is a case study in response to the call of the CBD Sec as follow up to decision on agr-biod (FAO has assisted to compile such studies)

The main purpose of this work was to evaluate the capacity of termites to improve their ability to reduce soil compaction, increase soil porosity and improve the water infiltration and retention capabalities of the soil.So as to encourage vegetative diversity and restoration of primary productivity (all

important issue for food and livelihood security in teh Sahel)

--- other comments---not for presentation ..« The capacity to enhance soil biological functions through a better understanding of soil biodiversity process and mechanims and improved land use systems and practices have been seriously neglected.»(Bennack et al., 2003)

 »However, an increasing number of case studies are showing these mechanims and showing the types of data and information from biodiversity observation with respect to soil within managed ecosystems.

Where termites behaviour has prooved to be an important component of agricultural practices:- Althrough agricultural pests, termites play and important role in recovering degraded

ecosystes (and enhance agricultural production)- Conserving termite populations (instead of eradicating them) and stimulating their soil

mixing capacities would improved crusted soil.

Managing Pollinators

Management practice:In Himachal Pradesh in Northwest Indian

Himalayas farmers are using colonies of honeybees – Apis cerana and Apis mellifera for pollination of apple crop.

An organized system of hiring and renting bee colonies for pollination exists

• Sumber: Sally Bunning. Land Management Officer, Land and Water Development Division, FAO of the UN

Case study from the North Western Himalayas concerning pollination.1) It is important to highlight that the focus of agriculture in the Him-region is slowly

shifting from traditional cereal crops for subsistence agriculture to high-value cash-crop farming … (fruits)

2)Thus this shift poses new challenges related to the improving and maintaining productivity and quality …

3) The study highlighted that a way to confront such challenge is through pollination … yet a decline in pollinators was noticeable …

4) The causes of the decline are identified as related to * Habitat fragmentation- agricultural and industrial chemicals- Parasites / diseases- Introduction of alien species- Taxonomic information - Economic values5) A new management practice was then developed/applied: the hiring and renting bee

colonies …... Moreover some farmers are trying to save the population of existing pollinators by

making judicious use of carefully selected less toxic pesticides and spraying outside the flowering period of the apple.

There are more than 100 000 known pollinators (bees, butterflies, beetles, birds, flies and bats)

Many important food crops rely on animal pollination, including fruits and vegetables and foodder. The decline in pollinators populations impact negatively on food production.

In recent years there is a world wide decline in pollinator populations and diversitz(importance of monitoring population changes)

Factors causing the decrease could be the decrease in their food (nectar and pollen) supplies as a result of decline in pristine areas, LUCs, increase in monoculture-dominated agricultural interventions (eg use of chemicals fertizers and pesticides)

Changes in climate might also be affecting the insect numbers

Case studies/opportunities for Sustainable pastoralism

• Controlled burning by pastoralists can improve forage quality and diversification of vegetation structure and species composition (trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals)

• Livestock grazing and crop-livestock integration can improve nutrient cycling and make better use of fragile resources/ ecosystems

• Livestock wildlife interaction: management of animal movements, stocking rates, control of incompatible cultivation by farmers; herders protect grazing wildlife from predators

• Settled herders creates long-lasting nutrient hotspots (kraals; fields)• Intensification and fragmentation of rangelands seems to cause a LOSS in

livestock production (may need to rethink ranching, sedentarisation)

Challenges - control of livestock numbers: use of common property resources; prestige, savings, security, culture Improvement of pasture and rangelands

Case studies/Opportunities for Sustainable intensification

Sustainable management practices: controlled burning and grazing, woodlots for energy and timber, field borders/hedges, crop-livestock-forestry interactions are key to maintaining diverse habitats and landscapes that support biodiversity

Human management of ecosystems may increase species diversity – semiarid savannas: managed pasture, control invasive forest and shrub species,

harvesting, gathering and planting– diversified agro-silvo-pastoral systems– multi-layer farming systems: trees, perennials- banana, coffee, annuals)

Planned settlements/roads: reduces lands with potential, avoid biodiversity hotspots, environmentally-friendly (green belt, trees, etc.)

Protected areas, buffer zones, specific action to safeguard those groups and species that are more sensitive to human use than others, to allow hunting and gathering and in situ conservation of landraces/farmers varieties/breeds

Land use planning by communities and sub-catchments to promote biodiversity. Vary land use type with soil type, terrain, microclimate, access to water. Patchwork of settlements, cropland, pasture, forestland, and protected areas.

Regulations : stocking density, seasonality, quotas, user groups, etc.

Soil biodiversity and its management Managing termites and organic mulch for soil

productivity by researchers in Burkina Faso:

Surface mulch applied to crusted soils was used to stimulate termite feeding

and burrowing. This lead to improved soil structures,

better aggregate formation, and enhanced soil function.

Mixing and burrowing of termites can be stimulated by applying organic mulch

and their feeding can promote soil regenerative

activities

• Sumber: Sally Bunning. Land Management Officer, Land and Water Development Division, FAO of the UN

I would like to refer to a case study in the Sahel region, an in particular in Burkina Faso. ---Case study – Burkina Faso: « Managing termites and organic resources to improve soil productivit in the Sahel » http://www.fao.org/AG/AGL/agll/soilbiod/cases/caseA2.pdf

This is a case study in response to the call of the CBD Sec as follow up to decision on agr-biod (FAO has assisted to compile such studies)

The main purpose of this work was to evaluate the capacity of termites to improve their ability to reduce soil compaction, increase soil porosity and improve the water infiltration and retention capabalities of the soil.So as to encourage vegetative diversity and restoration of

primary productivity (all important issue for food and livelihood security in teh Sahel)

--- other comments---not for presentation ..« The capacity to enhance soil biological functions through a better understanding of soil biodiversity process and mechanims and improved land use systems and practices have been seriously neglected.»(Bennack et al., 2003)

 »However, an increasing number of case studies are showing these mechanims and showing the types of data and information from biodiversity observation with respect to soil within managed ecosystems.

Where termites behaviour has prooved to be an important component of agricultural practices:- Althrough agricultural pests, termites play and important role

in recovering degraded ecosystes (and enhance agricultural production)

- Conserving termite populations (instead of eradicating them) and stimulating their soil mixing capacities would improved crusted soil.

Managing PollinatorsManagement practice:In Himachal Pradesh in Northwest

Indian Himalayas farmers are using colonies of honeybees – Apis cerana and Apis mellifera for pollination of apple crop.

An organized system of hiring and renting bee colonies for

pollination exists

• Sumber: Sally Bunning. Land Management Officer, Land and Water Development Division, FAO of the UN

Case study from the North Western Himalayas concerning pollination.1) It is important to highlight that the focus of agriculture in the Him-region is slowly shifting

from traditional cereal crops for subsistence agriculture to high-value cash-crop farming … (fruits)

2) Thus this shift poses new challenges related to the improving and maintaining productivity and quality …

3) The study highlighted that a way to confront such challenge is through pollination … yet a decline in pollinators was noticeable …

4) The causes of the decline are identified as related to * Habitat fragmentation- agricultural and industrial chemicals- Parasites / diseases- Introduction of alien species- Taxonomic information - Economic values5) A new management practice was then developed/applied: the hiring and renting bee

colonies …... Moreover some farmers are trying to save the population of existing pollinators by making

judicious use of carefully selected less toxic pesticides and spraying outside the flowering period of the apple.

There are more than 100 000 known pollinators (bees, butterflies, beetles, birds, flies and bats)

Many important food crops rely on animal pollination, including fruits and vegetables and foodder. The decline in pollinators populations impact negatively on food production.

In recent years there is a world wide decline in pollinator populations and diversitz(importance of monitoring population changes)

Factors causing the decrease could be the decrease in their food (nectar and pollen) supplies as a result of decline in pristine areas, LUCs, increase in monoculture-dominated agricultural interventions (eg use of chemicals fertizers and pesticides)

Changes in climate might also be affecting the insect numbers

These are some of the results highlighting the improvement in productivity and quality of the cash-crop (which then in turns is an improvement in terms of economic value)

The study emphasised the need to conserve pollinators populations (and also the diversity) so as to ensure pollination ... By taking into consideration the factors behind the decline of

Case studies/opportunities for Sustainable pastoralism

• Controlled burning by pastoralists can improve forage quality and diversification of vegetation structure and species composition (trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals)

• Livestock grazing and crop-livestock integration can improve nutrient cycling and make better use of fragile resources/ ecosystems

• Livestock wildlife interaction: management of animal movements, stocking rates, control of incompatible cultivation by farmers; herders protect grazing wildlife from predators

• Settled herders creates long-lasting nutrient hotspots (kraals; fields)• Intensification and fragmentation of rangelands seems to cause a LOSS in

livestock production (may need to rethink ranching, sedentarisation)

Case studies/Opportunities for Sustainable intensification

Sustainable management practices: controlled burning and grazing, woodlots for energy and timber, field borders/hedges, crop-livestock-forestry interactions are key to maintaining diverse habitats and landscapes that support biodiversity

Human management of ecosystems may increase species diversity – semiarid savannas: managed pasture, control invasive forest and shrub species,

harvesting, gathering and planting– diversified agro-silvo-pastoral systems– multi-layer farming systems: trees, perennials- banana, coffee, annuals)

Planned settlements/roads: reduces lands with potential, avoid biodiversity hotspots, environmentally-friendly (green belt, trees, etc.)

Protected areas, buffer zones, specific action to safeguard those groups and species that are more sensitive to human use than others, to allow hunting and gathering and in situ conservation of landraces/farmers varieties/breeds

Land use planning by communities and sub-catchments to promote biodiversity. Vary land use type with soil type, terrain, microclimate, access to water. Patchwork of settlements, cropland, pasture, forestland, and protected areas.

Regulations : stocking density, seasonality, quotas, user groups, etc.

Premise 1: Agriculture provides multiple non-commodity outputs that are not valued by market transactions may be under-produced relative to what society desires.

Premise 2: As income rises (socio-economic/agricultural development), the economic importance of the commodity outputs of agriculture decreases in relative terms, and willingness to pay for its other roles increases

Policy challengeto Address Externalities (costs or benefits not valued in the market and not

adequately taken into account by actor/decision maker)to Safeguard Common Resources/Public Goods (rules of access and use;

mechanisms for collective action to prevent degradation, under / over use)to Integrate natural resources management /ecosystem approach (resources,

and their products, are interlinked, management /policy measures for one resource/sector affects the others

to Create resource/ecosystem friendly markets that generate growth and promote sustainable use/management of resources and ecosystems.
