The document discusses ecotourism in Europe, highlighting key challenges and opportunities. It defines ecotourism and outlines its relationship to sustainable tourism. While ecotourism is less commonly used in Europe, nature-based and rural tourism have a long history there. Moving forward, the strategic approach for ecotourism in Europe should embrace sustainability and maximize benefits for nature conservation, rural economies, and local heritage, while providing fulfilling visitor experiences. Some opportunities include addressing climate change and transport impacts, understanding markets, working with protected areas, using certification positively, supporting conservation, and delivering benefits to rural communities.
This document discusses metrics for measuring cultural food preferences and their relationship to biodiversity. It examines post-modern Mediterranean food trends like eating more traditional, local, and seasonal foods as well as sharing collective meals. While local food may be perceived as more environmentally-friendly, relying solely on local products could significantly limit diversity and increase prices. Labels can help maintain cultural diversity but the real social relationships between producers and consumers are also important. The document then evaluates potential metrics for cultural food preferences, including traditional food variety and diversity scores, consumption of traditional regional foods, number of local markets and outlets, food miles, and share of locally produced food. It also considers socio-cultural indicators like time spent eating meals together and preparing food from

This document discusses responsible tourism product innovation for future travelers. It notes that urbanization and industrial output have increased dramatically over the past century, putting strain on the planet. Current issues include food insecurity, rising greenhouse gas emissions, and threats to biodiversity. However, international tourism continues to rise due to factors like easy travel reservations and internet access. The document argues that tourism products need to follow sustainability principles, be inclusive of local people, and interpret natural and cultural resources in order to attract environmentally-conscious travelers. Challenges to green tourism development include effects of climate change such as floods and drought.
Presentation given by Ann Tutwiler, Director General, Bioversity International, at the Svalbard Global Seed Vault Anniversary Event, February 2018.
This presentation outlines the results of a feasibility study for a Global Cryo-Collection of crops that cannot be conserved by seed. These include banana, cacao, cassava, coconut, coffee, potato and yams. These crops either don’t produce conventional seeds, like bananas, or because the seeds they do produce do not always resemble their parents, like potatoes and many other roots and tubers making it impossible to reproduce them.
Cryopreservation is safe and reliable and dependable. In cryopreservation, plants are stored in in liquid nitrogen at a temperature of -196 °C, a temperature so cold that it effectively stops all the living processes within the plant tissue, freezing it forever in time. Plants can then be regenerated from tiny stored samples and grown into whole plants.
This study was commissioned by Bioversity International, the International Potato Center (CIP) and the Global Crop Diversity Trust with financial support from Australia, Germany and Switzerland.

1) Current food systems are failing both human and planetary health as they underproduce fruits and vegetables, lead to poor diets as the number one global health risk, and put pressure on planetary boundaries.
2) Diversifying diets and agricultural production systems can simultaneously improve human health and sustainability by increasing consumption of underutilized but nutritious species.
3) Initiatives are working to mainstream millets and biodiversity in India and develop an Agrobiodiversity Index to incentivize policies and investments that integrate agrobiodiversity into food systems and build food/nutrition security and resilient agriculture.

Bioversity International policy scientist Ronnie Vernooy gave this presentation at the the Global Consultation on Farmers’ Rights, Indonesia, 27-30 September 2016, organized by the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Plant Treaty).
The importance of farmers’ rights is recognized in Article 9 of the Plant Treaty.
In this presentation Vernooy shows how a community-based approach to the management of agricultural biodiversity, including supporting community seedbanks, can empower and benefit smallholder farmers and farming communities economically, environmentally and socially. This approach makes implementing farmers’ rights at national level both practical and effective contributing to food and seed security, sustainable livelihoods and resilience.

Presentation given at the session on 'Seeds of Resilience - Novel strategies for using crop diversity in climate change adaptation' at Tropentag 2016, September 21st, Vienna, by Bioversity International scientist Ronnie Vernooy.
Future impacts of climate change are expected to become more pronounced in many parts of the world, forcing farmers to change their practices and causing them to find crops and varieties better adapted to new weather dynamics. Providing farmers with better access to crop and varietal diversity can strengthen their capacity to adapt to climate change. Under supportive policy and socioeconomic conditions, such strengthened capacity could contribute to greater food availability throughout the year, the production of more nutritious and healthy crops, and income generation. This is easier said than done.
How do we design and implement a comprehensive strategy that will allow farmers to access and use plant genetic diversity more effectively in the context of climate change adaptation? This session responded to this question through an interactive introduction to the challenge of enabling farmers to use climate-adapted germplasm (led by Bioversity International), a practical example from the field to bring new diversity to farmers fields (a case study from Uganda), and a “this is how we support crop diversification for climate change adaptation” exchange among a number of experts from government (development cooperation), private sector and civil society.

Ann Tutwiler, Director General, Bioversity International gave this presentation at the Eighth Biodiversity Conference, Trondheim on 31st May 2016.
Current agricultural intensification practices are the biggest threat to sustainability and a major force behind breaching multiple planetary boundaries (Steffen et al., 2015). Agriculture contributes to between 19 and 29% of total GHG emissions (US EPA 2011, Vermeulen et al. 2012), uses of 69% of freshwater resources (AQUASTAT 2014), and 34% of the terrestrial, icefree surface of the planet accounting for 31% of wild biodiversity loss (Ramankutty et al. 2008). It is the primary driver for the substantial breach of the planetary boundary for phosphorous, and nitrogen (Carpenter and Bennett 2011, Steffen et al. 2015). The foods we produce from these systems struggle to nourish a growing global population where nearly 2 billion suffer from nutrient deficiencies, and another 2 billion suffer from obesity.
In as much as agricultural practices are important parts of the problem, they are likely to be our best bet for novel solutions addressing both human and environmental health. Increasing and improved use of agricultural biodiversity has the capacity provide both food and nutritional security, providing the ingredients of healthy, culturally sensitive, and enjoyable meals.
Mounting evidence suggests that producing food for diversified diets is often complementary with improving agriculture’s sustainability record. Agricultural biodiversity provides the core ecosystem services that underpin sustainable agricultural intensification: pollination, pest control, and sustainably stored and sourced soil nutrients. Finally, as the planet’s largest ecosystem, sustainable intensification of agricultural ecosystems has the capacity to provide multiple ecosystem services converting agriculture from a net source, to net sink of green house gases; reigning in planetary boundaries on phosphorus, nitrogen, and water; and creating a safe space for wild biodiversity .
Achieving agricultural biodiversity’s potential however, requires stronger support of the
research and development community, better articulation of biodiversity’s contribution to
multiple sustainable development goals, and improved indicators and indices that facilitate impact and progress both environmental and human well-being targets.

But it is not just Western consumers that can benefit from rediscovering these forgotten foods.

Ann Tutwiler, Director General, Bioversity International, will explain how many nutritious traditional foods, which have largely fallen off menus and research-for-development agendas in favour of a handful of staple grains, are starting to make a comeback on the plates of the world’s poorest and most malnourished populations.
Bioversity International carries out research on a diverse range of underutilized crops, and advocates for their wider use in healthy diets from sustainable food systems. This overview will include examples of how research-for-development efforts on quinoa in the High Andes and minor millets in India have helped bring diverse varieties back to the farm, the market and the plate. She will highlight how these crops are often not just nutrient-rich but also have a high potential to contribute to livelihoods. They are often also highly resilient to today’s production challenges, such as climate change.
In conclusion, M. Ann Tutwiler will outline the urgent need to identify, promote and protect these useful plants which all have the potential to be placed into a diverse basket of Super Foods when it comes to delivering food and nutrition security.
In light of the 'Soils and pulses: symbiosis for life – A contribution to the Agenda 2030' event that took place at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), Bioversity International's researcher Paola De Santis highlighted the importance of pulse diversity in managing pests and diseases in farmers' fields. Planting diverse pulse varieties can reduce the farm’s vulnerability to pests and diseases, and is a risk management strategy for unpredictability in rainfall and temperatures.

This document discusses the African Union's perspective on implementing the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-Sharing and the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. It provides background on the evolution of the AU from the OAU. It acknowledges gaps between the OAU Model Law and current international agreements. It also describes AU guidelines developed to help member states harmonize implementation of the NP and ITPGRFA. The guidelines recognize the different scopes and approaches of the two instruments, and encourage coordination between relevant national agencies to develop coherent national approaches.
The document summarizes a workshop on capacity building for the implementation of multilateral environmental agreements in Africa. It describes the objectives of strengthening countries' abilities to implement agreements and highlights achievements like improved negotiation skills. It also outlines challenges like low public awareness and limited political commitment. Recommendations include promoting common activities with initiatives on human resources, science and technology.
