Projets
1. Sustaining Local Food Systems, Agricultural Biodiversity and Livelihoods: This research aims to analyse how and under what conditions can decentralised governance, farmer participation and capacity building promote the adaptive management of agricultural biodiversity in the context of local food systems and livelihoods.
2. Pro-Poor Tourism: IIED has worked on pro-poor tourism since 1999. Pro-poor tourism focuses on changing the distribution of benefits to increase the share captured by poor people (www.propoortourism.org.uk).
3. Forest Governance Learning Group: The forest governance learning group works in Africa and Asia to exchange learning and develop ideas on forest governance - and helps to make them work for practical, just and sustainable forest use.
4. Protecting Traditional Knowledge: Participatory research with indigenous communities in areas of important forest and agro-biodiversity is being used to strengthen resource management and rights locally and to inform the development of appropriate policy to protect traditional knowledge at national and international levels.
Traditional Knowledge and Trade Promotion in Peru : The key objective of this project is to take the first step toward a longer-term goal of providing information to relevant stakeholders on the impacts that the US-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement will have on the livelihoods of poor farmers and indigenous people in Peru, and facilitating a public policy debate on these potential impacts.
Conservation and Human Rights: IIED is working with consultant Nick Winer to facilitate discussions between international conservation NGOs on the potential for developing a human rights charter for conservation NGOs.
