An integrated approach to the valuation and sustainable management of agrobiodiversity: Is it what the Doctor orders?
Organizer
Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research
Date and Time
29 November 2005 18:30 - 20:0
Following a review of the state of the art of valuation of the components of agrobiodiversity (crops, livestock, trees and aquatic genetic resources), an integrated research agenda is presented for discussion based on the hypotheses that: i) scientific research about agrobiodiversity can be advanced by using a holistic approach to value its components; ii) applied research undertaken jointly can lead to costs, benefits, and policy recommendations that differ in important ways from those supported by separate analyses.
