“…Relevant research has been carried out in other important GIAHS (Liu et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2019). Thus, we believe that the dissemination of this news from a GIAHS in Brazil is decisive for similar research in our famous tropical region.…”

“…This is evident from the numbers of species that the four minority groups consumed and is also shown by the variety of edible parts, the range of harvest times, and the multiplicity of EBR uses. This multifaceted diversity in EBR use in the agricultural heritage system shows that biological resources constitute a critical element of the natural environment [18,63] in maintaining biodiversity [20] and are fundamental to sustaining the livelihood of farmers in the system [61,64,65]. A wealth of agricultural wisdom and cultural knowledge has been indicated by the sustainable use of EBRs [18,20].…”

“…The two-step inductive method was used to identify the driving forces of EBR utilization, following [60]. The first step was to form a master list of the driving factors of different EBR uses for the minority groups in the study area, derived from relevant literature [18,20,37,39,61] and the data obtained from the key informant interviews. The second step was to determine the relationships between EBR uses and items on the list.…”

An agricultural heritage system is a special type of protected area that is both culturally and ecologically important. Biological resources are an essential component of an agricultural heritage system. They are necessary to support human livelihood, and their usage is key to ensuring biodiversity. This study used a survey questionnaire and key informant interviews to investigate the use of edible biological resources (EBRs) in the Shuangjiang Mengku ancient tea and culture system (SMATCS). We investigated similarities and differences in EBR use between four minority groups as well as the driving forces behind them. The four groups used 245 EBR species in 113 families, and diversity of EBR use was found in terms of species, edible parts, harvest season, and usage. EBR use within groups was driven by natural, cultural, social, and economic forces. Two social factors (infrastructure and communication), two economic factors (overall economic development and farmer income), and a biological resource (species diversity) drove EBR utilization in all the groups convergently, while three cultural factors drove EBR utilization divergently. To assure the long-term sustainability of EBRs, the preservation of cultural diversity should be combined with the conservation of biodiversity. Targets must be set to adjust the impacts of the driving factors, and more stakeholders must be involved in the conservation of EBRs.

“…Current studies conducted in GIAHS sites in Asia-especially China, Japan, and Korea-provide strong evidence of the relevance of these traditional agricultural systems in maintaining the local social structure [35], reducing rural migration while providing incomes for the local population [36], maintaining the landscape [37], and environmental sustainability [38]. The recognition of these sites is just a first step that claims to reveal the knowledge that lies in the GIAHS in terms of resilience and sustainability.…”

“…The recognition of these sites is just a first step that claims to reveal the knowledge that lies in the GIAHS in terms of resilience and sustainability. Efforts on research, acknowledgment, dissemination, and conservation [35,39,40] of these systems in the Asian continent are consolidated compared to other places in the world, such as Europe.…”

Characterization of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) in Europe

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The recognition and safeguarding of agricultural heritage in Europe are new concepts that are gaining attention due to the contribution they make to sustainability. Of the 57 Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) that exist in the world today, only six have been designated in Europe. Through a qualitative analysis of the proposal documents submitted by these six European GIAHS to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) during the designation process, this study provides a comparative characterization of these sites supported by expert assessment. During the first phase, 24 specific sub-criteria were observed based on the five main criteria that a site has to meet in order to demonstrate its global relevance as an agricultural heritage of humanity. The relevance of the resulting sub-criteria was then assessed by a Delphi panel of experts and the validated ones were applied in an assessment of the six European sites. The European GIAHS sites are characterized by the high value of their cultural landscapes' evolution, modeled by traditional and adaptive agriculture knowledge and practices that are promoted and maintained thanks to organized and committed social organizations. The results of structuring of sub-criteria can facilitate the application of other possible European GIAHS sites.
