    The project aims to raise awareness and establish a basis for informed decision-making by public and private actors to support ecosystem services and contribute to long-term food security and sustainable agriculture development. Ecosystem services in agriculture are the benefits society gets from the environment thanks to farmers interventions. Nutritious food, clean water, healthy soils, pest and disease control and biodiversity are just a few examples of those benefits.

    Incentives for ecosystem services (IES) are packages that aim to support farmers in the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices that will benefit the environment. Agricultural practices play a critical role for the environment. Likewise, the environment plays a vital role for the whole planet. Using and adopting agricultural practices that preserve, support and benefit all the ‘services’ provided by the environment, clean air and water, biodiversity, healthy soil, pollination etc. is ess ential if we are serious about a sustainable use of natural resources.

    This project supports the Government of the Philippines in efforts to conserve the country’s globally important agrobiodiversity and traditional agroecosystems. The project comprised three interlinked components: mainstreaming agrobiodiversity into policy and legal frameworks; piloting activities to expand dynamic conservation practices in three pilot communities; and disseminating learning and preparing for scaling up. The project aligned strongly with Philippines Government, FAO and GEF priorities, and impressive progress was made on policy objectives. There was less progress in enhancing dynamic conservation practices for agrobiodiversity in the pilot communities. Recommendations focused on developing a successful exit strategy, capturing experience effectively, and carrying out a systems review for future FAO-supported agrobiodiversity projects.
