  1. MAINSTREAMING AGRICULTURAL BIODIVERSITY FOR FOOD SECURITY Satellite Event at Tenth Regular Session of theCommission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture

  2. Integrated agro-ecological approaches and community-based adaptive management:Integrated Pest Management • Rice Food Webs and Regional Pools of Species • Farmers’ Field Schools • Policy Reform and Impact

  3. Rice Food Webs • Aquatic food webs support biocontrol • Decomposing organic matter feeds the food web from bottom up • Regional species pools supply rice fields with natural enemies

  4. Hyper Parasitoids PARASITOIDS ARTHROPOD PREDATORS HERBIVORES CHIRONOMIDS & MOSQUITOES TUBIFICID WORMS RICE PLANT MICROCRUSTACEA PHYTOPLANKTON ROTIFERS DETRITIVORES PROTOZOA CO2 P2O5 BACTERIA NH4 NO3 OTHER Irrigated Rice Food Web AQUATIC ORGANIC MATTER

  7. Farmers’ Field Schools

  8. From Central Java to Central Mali: Constructing Ecosystems in Groups

  9. Agro-ecosystem analysis

  10. Agro-ecosystem analysis • Discussing field observations • Making field observations

  11. Policy Reforms

  12. Indonesia 1986: Planning Minister and Junior Minister Agriculture go to field, meet farmers, 3 weeks later, National IPM Policy announced by President Indonesia 1990: New Junior Minister Agriculture and Cabinet Sect. go to field, meet farmers, reject repeal of pesticide restrictions and reinforce IPM

  13. Literacy NOT Required Farmers Demonstrate their their Constructed Ecosystems in Public: West Africa

  14. Farmers Mobilizing for Local Policy Reform in Selingue, Mali

  15. Iranian Farmer Field Schools: Biodiversity Management by Local Communities

  16. Thank You !

  17. National IPM Programmes • Sub Regional Clusters: • Reinforce each other with expertise, experience, example • Field Exchanges • Natural Trade Partners: Harmonize to reduce costs • Common Threats from Invasive Pests
