abstract: Increasing international attention is being given to the role and productive value
of biological diversity in agriculture. Recognizing the potential of agricultural
biodiversity and the services it provides will be key to meeting future food needs
while maintaining and enhancing other goods and services, such as clean air and
clean water, provided by agricultural ecosystems. FAO and ICRISAT are joining
forces to further the understanding of the contribution of crop and crop-associated
biodiversity (C-CAB) in sustainable agriculture in the semi-arid tropics (SAT).
In order to address some of the key components of C-CAB, FAO and ICRISAT organized
a joint workshop in late September 2002.
The meeting was intended to generate animated exchanges between experts
from different disciplines. Its outputs aim to provide a first step, not only in further
understanding the role and value of main components of C-CAB for sustainable
agriculture production intensification and livelihoods benefits, but also in identifying
linkages and synergies between components of C-CAB in production systems
for strategic interventions.
