The present review aims to move policy attention beyond the generalized, and perhaps limited, perception of women as fish processors and marketers and in this way enhance their participation in fisheries resource management and decision-making. The study describes the different ways women have access to fish in small-scale fisheries: as primary users (when they fish by themselves or they finance fishery operations), secondary users (when they access fish through kinship or other close relationships), and tertiary users (when they use capital to buy fish directly from fishers or traders).

Thus, this “guesstimate” may not be representative for some countries where the prevalence of disability amongst indigenous peoples tends to be higher than across the non-indigenous population due to severe poverty, exposure to violence and social deprivation.

Ecological Farming provides a balanced approach between optimising ecosystem services and food production.Ecological Farming aims to protect water resources, and use them more effectively, through better and more efficient irrigation and choosing appropriate crops.

This guide aims to help indigenous peoples and local communities better understand the intellectual property system and make informed decisions about when and how to use intellectual property tools to protect and promote their traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions.

The objectives of this study which are in tandem with those specified by the National Biodversity Authority are to develop and maintain an inventory of known biological resources, and to document the traditional knowledge associated with biodiversity in SĂĽkhai.

The study illustrates different ways in which communities are finding more sustainable ways to produce and consume food with benefits for all. The methods vary, but the outcomes are the same: control of the food system is being taken back by small-scale, sustainable farms and food enterprises from large-scale industrial businesses that dominate the market today putting profit ahead of wellbeing for people and planet.

The handbook is intended to fill the gap in understanding where the treaty text has chosen to remain silent. The Convention on Biological Diversity and the Nagoya Protocol: Intellectual Property Implications addresses how the global rules on ABS of genetic resources and associated TK should work in tandem with an area that is mentioned minimally in the 2010 Nagoya Protocol, i.e., IP.

This report examines relevant laws and policies, and their provisions on scope, prior informed consent, mutually agreed terms on benefit-sharing, compliance, and monitoring and enforcement, as well as any access agreements that have been granted or relevant experience gained in the implementation of ABS measures. It also presents a discussion and conclusions on the main legislative challenges to implementing the Protocol.

The purpose of the manual is to guide farmers to adopt the practices in their crop and livestock management systems. This manual includes modules on SALM practices, such as agroforestry, nutrient management, integrated livestock management as well as soil and water conservation.

The report provides a series of snapshots of UNIPP activity and achievements, grouped by strategic area of activity. While far from comprehensive, they illustrate the breadth of initiatives and partnerships with which UNIPP is involved, and the concrete steps it has already taken to ensure indigenous peoples benefit from their due rights.
