Directrices voluntarias para la conservación a nivel nacional de especies silvestres afines a las plantas cultivadas y plantas silvestres comestibles
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsPublisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251300410
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Los parientes silvestres de cultivos son posibles fuentes de caracteres deseables para la obtención de variedades bien adaptadas, mientras que las plantas silvestres comestibles son componentes importantes de la dieta de muchas personas en todo el mundo. Lamentablemente, sus hábitats silvestres naturales están cada vez más amenazados por las actividades humanas y las catástrofes naturales. La pérdida de hábitat repercute de manera directa y negativa en la diversidad de estos valiosos recursos. Las presentes directrices, concebidas como material de referencia para la elaboración de un Plan nacional para la conservación y el uso sostenible de parientes silvestres de cultivos y plantas silvestres comestibles, contribuirán a frenar esta continua pérdida de diversidad. Las directrices son, por consiguiente, un instrumento útil para profesionales del desarrollo, investigadores, estudiantes y responsables de la formulación de políticas que trabajan en la conservación y el uso sostenible de estos valiosos recursos.

Book Description
Se espera que las directrices ayuden a las Partes, los Gobiernos y otros interesados a desarrollar estrategias de acceso general y participación en los beneficios, y a identificar los pasos implicados en el proceso de obtención de acceso a los recursos genéticos y a la participación de beneficios. Las directrices tienen el propósito de ayudarlos en el establecimiento de medidas legislativas, administrativas o de política sobre acceso y participación en los beneficios y/o en la negociación de arreglos contractuales para acceso y participación en los beneficios.

North American Crop Wild Relatives, Volume 1
Author: Stephanie L. GreenePublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319951017
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
The plant species that humans rely upon have an extended family of wild counterparts that are an important source of genetic diversity used to breed productive crops. These wild and weedy cousins are valuable as a resource for adapting our food, forage, industrial and other crops to climate change. Many wild plant species are also directly used, especially for revegetation, and as medicinal and ornamental plants. North America is rich in these wild plant genetic resources. This book is a valuable reference that describes the important crop wild relatives and wild utilized species found in Canada, the United States and Mexico. The book highlights efforts taken by these countries to conserve and use wild resources and provides essential information on best practices for collecting and conserving them. Numerous maps using up-to-date information and methods illustrate the distribution of important species, and supplement detailed description on the potential value these resources have to agriculture, as well as their conservation statuses and needs. There is broad recognition of the urgent need to conserve plant diversity; however, a small fraction of wild species is distinguished by their potential to support agricultural production. Many of these species are common, even weedy, and are easily overshadowed by rare or endangered plants. Nevertheless, because of their genetic proximity to agriculturally important crops or direct use, they deserve to be recognized, celebrated, conserved, and made available to support food and agricultural security. This comprehensive two-volume reference will be valuable for students and scientists interested in economic botany, and for practitioners at all levels tasked with conserving plant biodiversity. The chapters 'Public Education and Outreach Opportunities for Crop Wild Relatives in North America' and 'Genetic Resources of Crop Wild Relatives – A Canadian Perspective' are open access under a CC BY 4.0 license via link.springer.com.
