Aquatic genetic resources (AqGR) play a crucial role in contributing to global food security and nutrition, as well as sustainable livelihoods. However, in various international fora, most FAO members have highlighted the limitations and constraints faced in assessing their national capacities to use, manage and conserve AqGR as well as in identifying and monitoring the resources used and the suitable indicators of the status of those resources.
Ce document analyse les études de cas de projets qui font appel à une approche fondée sur les moyens d’existence durables ou des principes fondés sur des moyens d’existence durables et dans lesquels on peut mesurer les effets de la réduction de la pauvreté. Ce document n’est pas une étude comparative entre une approche fondée sur les moyens d’existence et une approche non fondée sur les moyens d’existence et en tant que tels, les développements de cas « traditionnels » n’ont pas été pris en considération.
Genetic resources for food and agriculture play a crucial role in food security, nutrition and livelihoods and in the provision of environmental services. They are key components of sustainability, resilience and adaptability in production systems. They underpin the ability of crops, livestock, aquatic organisms and forest trees to withstand a range of harsh conditions. Climate change poses new challenges to the management of the world’s genetic resources for food and agriculture, but it also underlines their importance.
