No hay ganancia en la milpa: the agrarian question, food sovereignty, and the on-farm conservation of agrobiodiversity in the Guatemalan highlands (2009, background): “…that exposure to markets is negatively correlated with the conservation of crop genetic resources (Van Dusen 2000, Van Dusen and Taylor 2005, Winters et al. 2006), but ecologists utilising the same measure have come to alternative conclusions (Aguirre-Gómez et al. 2000, Perales et al.…”
Farmers' preferences for crop variety traits: Lessons for on-farm conservation and technology adoption (2010, background): “Farmers, plant breeders, gene-bank managers, and crop scientists drawondiverse crop genetic resources to innovate, support, and benefit society at large (Smale, 2006).”
Collective action for market chain innovation in the Andes (2009, background): “As Smale (2006) and others have shown, increasing farmer returns to crops with a high public value, such as native potatoes, will enhance the incentive for farmers to maintain agro-biodiversity.”
Payments for agrobiodiversity conservation services for sustained on-farm utilization of plant and animal genetic resources (2011, background): “…remote areas of developing countries, consisting of small-scale farmers, who manage species, varieties or breeds with unique adaptive traits (e.g. disease reistance, drought tolerance) bred over many years of domestication across a wide range of enviro ments (Smale, 2006; Kontoleon et al., 2008).”
Modern variety adoption and risk management in drought prone areas: insights from the sorghum farmers of eastern Ethiopia (2010, background): “8 For more information on diversity indexes, see Smale (2005) and Baumgärtner (2002). is thus uncertain and depends on the long term implications of current adoption patterns, as well as on the measures of diversity considered.”
Biological Diversity in Agriculture and Global Change (2010, background): “Still globalization is known to induce a variety of spatially and socially differentiated impacts, including unintended consequences, resulting in significant capacity for continued biological diversity of agriculture at the scales of farm households, communities, and regions (19, 41, 85).”
Review of the literature on the links between biodiversity and climate change: impacts, adaptation and mitigation. (2009, background): “Although empirical evidence is lacking, it is likely that farming practices can be more easily adapted to cope with changes in water availability or temperature if a larger number of crop varieties are available (Smale 2005; Weltzien et al. 2006; Bowe 2007; Reid, Simms and Johnson 2007; Thomas et al”
