Fischer et al. 2008
The two models are based on abstract, academic arguments
that do not adequately reflect the complexity of conservation
and land use change.

Agrobiodiversity, Land and People: Strengthening the partnership between indigenous peoples, rural
communities and scientists through PAR
Aims
• Critically analyse the validity of the claims made in the debate
• Understand the effects of the two approaches on agrobiodiversity
• Identify knowledge gaps and areas for further investigation
• Discuss the views of indigenous peoples and rural communities
who depend on and maintain agrobiodiversity

Agrobiodiversity, Land and People: Strengthening the partnership between indigenous peoples, rural
communities and scientists through PAR
• The benefits of each strategy are likely to depend on the species, land
use history and the biodiversity value of land among other factors
• Alternative approaches - e.g. reducing waste and meat consumption
• (Agro)biodiversity conservation practices take many different forms

The World Database on Protected Areas, UNEP, 2013
90% of the world’s tropical forests lie outside of
protected areas and most protected areas are
used by the people who live in and around them.

Conclusions of the Chiang Mai workshop
The debate does not address the realities of the rural
communities and indigenous peoples

The complexity of conservation and land use change
In reality, the complex social, political and
economic forces determine land use change and
management practices.
Land grabs

destruction without securing
forest peoples’ land and
territorial rights…”

Wetlands, deserts, mountains, oceans and grasslands?

Different components, species, varieties, breeds or
ecological communities can be affected in different ways
• Pollinators and CWR may benefit from “sparing”

How do we feed 9 billion people and conserve AGRObiodiversity?
Different components, species, varieties, breeds or
ecological communities can be affected in different ways
• Pollinators and CWR may benefit from “sparing”
• But at what scale?
• And at what scale “sparing” becomes “sharing” or
other way around?

Project aims
• Together with 8 partner organisations, develop a framework that
supports analysis of the consequences of land use decisions on
agrobiodiversity and ecosystem services
• Encourage exchange of knowledge and experiences between
partners
• Provide an opportunity to young researchers to expand their
knowledge about agrobiodiversity assessment and conservation
Agrobiodiversity, Land and People: Supporting agrobiodiversity maintenance and use in the
context of land management decisions
![Page 18: Land sparing vs land sharing and agrobiodiversity …...Land sparing Agricultural intensification on already-converted land to spare forests and other “intact” habitats Land sharing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1da8f77471c5c144540dc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The framework seeks to encourage greater consideration of
agrobiodiversity in land use management decisions.

The framework seeks to encourage greater consideration of
agrobiodiversity in land use management decisions.
The framework will provide a methodology for
• the integration of different agrobiodiversity measures
• the assessment and analysis of the consequences of different
land use systems for agrobiodiversity, ecosystem services
and resilience in agroecosystems.

The framework seeks to encourage greater consideration of
agrobiodiversity in land use management decisions.
The framework will provide a methodology for
• the integration of different agrobiodiversity measures
• the assessment and analysis of the consequences of different land
use systems for agrobiodiversity, ecosystem services and
resilience in agroecosystems.
The framework will explore:
• Challenges faced by local communities
• Changes in land use and drivers of change
• Agrobiodiversity and associated local knowledge
• The contribution of agrobiodiversity to sustainability,
ecosystem function and social-ecological resilience.
Agrobiodiversity, Land and People: Supporting agrobiodiversity maintenance and use in the

![Page 21: Land sparing vs land sharing and agrobiodiversity …...Land sparing Agricultural intensification on already-converted land to spare forests and other “intact” habitats Land sharing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1da8f77471c5c144540dc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Currently the framework comprises three main elements
• Participatory mapping of land uses/cover, agrobiodiversity and
ecosystems services
• Description of agrobiodiversity (crops, CWR, animals, pollinators,
medicinal and edible plants, soil biodiversity)
• Social-ecological resilience assessment

The development of the framework is implemented using
participatory and transdisciplinary approaches.
![Page 23: Land sparing vs land sharing and agrobiodiversity …...Land sparing Agricultural intensification on already-converted land to spare forests and other “intact” habitats Land sharing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071005/5fc1da8f77471c5c144540dc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The development of the framework is implemented using
participatory and transdisciplinary approaches.
Participatory - a partnership approach to research that involves, for
example,community members, organisational representatives, and
researchers in all aspects of the research process and in which all
partners contribute expertise and share decision making and
ownership.
Transdisciplinarity - a research strategy that crosses disciplinary
boundaries to create a holistic approach.

Why a landscape perspective?
Resilience - the scales at which agrobiodiversity confers climate
change resilience are multiple and interrelated
Land restoration - about 1.5 million people directly affected by
land degradation
