Globally Important Indigenous Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS)
extent, significance, and implications for development
GIAHS are found throughout the developing world, linked to centers of diversity. Agroecosystems cover more than one quarter of the global land area, reaching about 5 billion hectares. Agroecosystems are ecosystems in which people have deliberately selected crop plants and livestock animals to replace the natural flora and fauna.
