GIAHS Programme aims to establish the basis for international recognition, dynamic conservation and adaptive management of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems and their agricultural biodiversity, knowledge systems, food and livelihood security and culture throughout the world.

The GIAHS Secretariat (GPIU) is continuously searching and identifying GIAHS all over the world.

We are looking for unique, remarkable traditional agricultural practices and evolving system that demonstrates multiple goods and services to humanity and the environment.  Several examples and types of systems are illustrated in this website, if you know any systems similar to or bearing one or more of the listed criteria, we therefore invite you to share your GIAHS and help us build a database of GIAHS. You may use the template  for writing your GIAHS proposal or you may view existing pilot systems.

After we have received your GIAHS proposal, we will contact you to learn more about your GIAHS, or we would invite you to share more detailed information of your GIAHS where we could build partnerships and networking of GIAHS between and among our pilot systems. We will also feature your GIAHS in the website, on our candidate systems, linked to your name and organization.

Thank you for submitting and sharing your GIAHS!
