  1. Example of promising results from functional agrobiodiversity in Germany by Dr Stefan Schröder Federal Agency for Agriculture and Food (BLE), Information and Coordination Centre for Biological Diversity (IBV) 2nd European Seminar on ELN-FAB, Sept 24-25, Frick

  2. Content • Remarks on the political environment at international and national level regards functional agrobiodiversity • Specific situation in Germany with regard to ELN-FAB • Examples of promising results from functional agrobiodiversity in Germany

  3. Information and Coordination Centre for Biological Diversity (IBV)- Tasks National Inventories • Support of the development and implementation of programmes for genetic resources for food and agriculture (GRFA). • Advisory and coordination functions at the BMELV concerning GRFA. • Data collection and documentation. • Analysis and assessment of agrobiodiversity trends in Germany. • Knowledge transfer, advisory services for political decision makers and stakeholders.

  4. International legal obligations CBD - Programme of Work on Agricultural Biodiversity

  5. CBD - Programme of Work on Agrobiodiversity Cross-cutting Initiatives

  6. CBD – Ecosystem Approach

  7. Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) What is new about the MA findings? […] “the focus of this assessment on ecosystem services and their link to human well-being and development needs is unique. […] “ Has the MA identified major gaps in knowledge? […] “Yes, many. For example, at a local and national scale, relatively limited information exists about the status of many ecosystem services and even less information is available about the economic value of non-marketed services. Moreover, the costs of the depletion of these services are rarely tracked in national economic accounts. […] “

  8. Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture - MYPOW, adopted at the 11th Regular Session

  23. AEM A variety of AEM has been evolved in the EU. Examples of commitments covered are: (i) the environmentally favorable extensification of farming; (ii) the management of low-intensity pasture systems; (iii) integrated farm management and organic agriculture; (iv) the preservation of landscape and historical features such as hedgerows, ditches and woods or (v) the conservation of high-value habitats and their associated biodiversity.
