Synopsis (short abstract) The project titled “Supporting Food Security and Reducing Poverty in Kenya and the United Republic of Tanzania through Dynamic Conservation of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS)” focuses on two different indigenous agricultural systems, typically found in East Africa: Upland-agro-forestry systems and pastoral systems. Many of these meet the requirements of the GIAHS Initiative: customary use and adaptive management of biological and natural resources compatible with conserva tion and sustainable use requirements, a substantive contribution to local food security and rural development, as well as social and cultural features significant to the cultural diversity and identity of their countries. Additionally, these historic East-African agricultural systems display management practices and biological diversity of great relevance to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
