Payments for agrobiodiversity conservation services for sustained on-farm utilization of plant and animal genetic resources (2011, background): “Consequently, in recent years, in-situ agrobiodiversity conservation is being seen as a complementary strategy to ex-situ conservation (Maxted et al., 2002), with the former also being mandated by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).”
Seed exchanges, a key to analyze crop diversity dynamics in farmer-led on-farm conservation (2011, background): “Thus In situ conservation encompasses two distinct components: the conservation of wild species in genetic reserves and the conservation of crops on-farm (Maxted et al. 2002).”
Biological Diversity in Agriculture and Global Change (2010, background): “The 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), especially Agenda 21, along with the 1996 Conference of Parties, has provided an important international legal framework that may be applied to on-farm conservation (149).”
Examining the Role of Collective Action in an Informal Seed System: A Case Study from the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, Mexico (2006, background): “A better understanding of the workings of local seed supply systems is integral to meeting two not necessarily incompatible goals: 1) ensuring that the farmers who depend on these systems can gain access to new germplasm—improved or local—that can enhance the benefits they derive from growing maize;”
Defining and identifying crop landraces (2005, background): “The situation concerning the involvement of landraces in participatory plant breeding is interesting, as Maxted et al. (2002) noted care should be taken to ensure the security of the locally adapted genetic diversity or the former landrace could no longer be regarded as a landrace.”
Farmers’ practices, metapopulation dynamics, and conservation of agricultural biodiversity on-farm: a case study of sorghum among the Duupa in sub-sahelian Cameroon (2005, background): “Second, in situ approaches (or on-farm conservation) aim to maintain the existing genetic resources on-farm, allowing evolutionary processes to maintain and continue to create diversity (Cleveland et al., 2000; Maxted et al., 2002 ).”
Plant Genetic Resources: Selected Issues from Genetic Erosion to Genetic Engineering (2008, background): “The raw materials of plant genetic resource conservation are genes within gene pools, the total genetic diversity of the particular plant taxon being conserved (Maxted et al., 2002).”
