Evaluering
Enhancing Benefits to Small and Marginal Farmers by Linking Biodiversity to its Niche Markets An External Evaluation Report
Linking Biodiversity to Niche Markets was a project that built on previous work by LI-BIRD on In-Situ Crop Conservation. While the previous project focuses on conservation of traditional varieties on farm, the current project attempted to scale up the conservation through the following strategies: 1. Create economic incentive to conserve traditional varieties. 2. Strengthen social and cultural value of traditional varieties. 3. Strengthen community-based management. Purpose was to: 1. Assess the effectiveness of the project in implementing the strategies. 2. Provide LI-BIRD with an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the project implementation in order to improve the strategies and the implementation.
