No results found.The undervaluation and inadequate recognition of traditional crop varieties in the Philippines pose challenges that hinder the nation from fully harnessing the significant nutritional, cultural and ecological value they offer. By enhancing, expanding and sustaining dynamic conservation practices, the project aimed to promote globally significant agrobiodiversity in traditional agroecosystems of the Philippines. The project was initially piloted in 17 barangaysacross Ifugao province and Lake Sebu and later expanded to include additional barangays. Primarily benefiting Indigenous Peoples' communities, the project consisted of three key components: mainstreaming agrobiodiversity considerations into policy and institutional frameworks, conducting pilot activities for dynamic conservation practices and disseminating information for scaling up and monitoring and evaluation. The project succeeded in transforming land into traditional agroecosystems, developing and activating policy instruments, delivering capacity building in conservation and enterprise activities as well as in the characterization of traditional varieties, creating agrobiodiversity-based products, establishing community seed banks. The project also facilitated the establishment of community-based organizations, documented Locally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems and contributed to local knowledge and good practices in agrobiodiversity conservation. Overall, the project has made significant strides in mainstreaming the conservation and sustainable use of agricultural biodiversity for ensuring food security, improved livelihoods and resilient ecosystems in the Philippines. -
