Agriculture, Biodiversity and Markets: Livelihoods and Agroecology in Comparative Perspective / Stewart Lockie ; David Carpenter (2010)

Public ISBD Titre : Agriculture, Biodiversity and Markets: Livelihoods and Agroecology in Comparative Perspective Type de document : Ouvrage Auteurs : Stewart Lockie ; David Carpenter Editeur : Londres : Earthscan publication Année de publication : 2010 Importance : 318 p, Format : 30 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-84407-776-2 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : [Thesagri] biodiversité [Thesagri] marché : économie Note de contenu : Debate about how best to ensure the preservation of agricultural biodiversity is caught in a counter-productive polemic between proponents and critics of market-based instruments and agricultural modernisation. This book argues that neither position does justice to the range of strategies that farmers use to manage agrobiodiversity and other livelihood assets as they adapt to changing social, economic, and environmental circumstances. Chapters explore relationships between the exploitation and conservation of agricultural biodiversity and the livelihoods of agricultural communities, and evaluate the capacity of national and multilateral institutions and policy settings to support the protection and capture by communities of agrobiodiversity values. The place of ecosystem services in valuing biodiversity in the marketplace is emphasized. A number of authors assess the potential for market-based instruments and initiatives to encourage the protection of biodiversity, while others compare agrobiodiversity/community relationships, and the effectiveness of instruments designed to enhance these, across international boundaries. The book takes a comparative approach, drawing on empirical case studies from across the developed and developing worlds. In doing so, the book does not simply point to similarities and differences in the experience of rural communities. It also shows how global trade and multilateral institutions bring these otherwise disparate communities together in networks that exploit and/or preserve agrobiodiversity and other resources.

Biodiversity and traditional knowledge: equitable partnerships in practice / Sarah Laird (2002)

Public ISBD Titre : Biodiversity and traditional knowledge: equitable partnerships in practice Type de document : Ouvrage Auteurs : Sarah Laird Editeur : Londres : Earthscan publication Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 504 p. Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-85383-698-5 Prix : 62,98 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : [Thesagri] biodiversité [Thesagri] bioéthique [Thesagri] manipulation génétique [Thesagri] recherche agronomique [Thesagri] relations Nord-Sud [Thesagri] stratégie d'entreprise Index. décimale : IO-0 Généralités Note de contenu : Section I : Biodiversity research relationship Section II: Biodiversity research and prospecting in prospected areas Section III: Community relationships with researchers Section IV: The commercialuse of biodiversity and traditional knowledge Section V : National policy context SectionVI: Conclusions and recommendations This practical manual demonstrates how to arrive at equitable and successful arrangements over access to, and the commercial development of, genetic resources. Despite much discussion at the international policy level relating to the use of genetic resources and traditional knowledge, to date there has been no such guide on integrating concepts into practice. Many parties have stakes in the commercial use of biodiversity, from local communities and indigenous peoples to resource managers, NGOs, research institutes and universities, industry and national governments. This guide draws on experience from a range of countries around the world to show how the benefits from the commercial use of biodiversity can be maximized and shared equitably while also achieving local conservation and development objectives. It explains how groups can better design and control the terms of research and business partnerships, and also how to participate in drafting national laws and contributing to international policy debate. No single model fits all circumstances, and the manual is structured to enable readers to select and apply approaches most relevant to them. It includes extensive information on the codes, contracts, policies and other documents required, as well as extensive contact details. It will be an invaluable tool for all the stakeholders involved in benefit-sharing research and commercial partnerships.
