Other systems and sites

Agriculture Heritage Systems can be found all over the world. Characteristically, these systems are rich in agricultural biodiversity and associated wildlife and are important resources of indigenous knowledge and culture.

In accordance with internationally accepted criteria, the GIAHS project coordinators are constantly identifying other potential GIAHS systems and sites and help in building a network between agricultural heritage systems all over the world. The programme is intended to ultimately encompass 100 to 150 Globally Important Agriculture Heritage Systems worldwide.

In this section you can find examples and descriptions of other potential GIAHS systems and sites. Further proposals are always welcome!
