Narloch, U.Drucker, A.G.Pascual, U.[Payments for agrobiodiversity conservation services for sustained on-farm utilization of plant and animal genetic resources]Payments for agrobiodiversity conservation services for sustained on-farm utilization of plant and animal genetic resources

Genetic erosion of domestic animal diversity has placed 30% of the world's breeds at risk of extinction, often as a result of government policy/programmes. Conservation and sustainable development of animal genetic resources (AnGR) require a broad focus that includes the many ‘adaptive’ breeds th...


Drucker, A.G.Gómez, V.Anderson, S.[The economic valuation of farm animal genetic resources: a survey of available methods]The economic valuation of farm animal genetic resources: a survey of available methods
Autor: Drucker, A.G.

Animal genetic resource (AnGR) diversity contributes in many ways to human survival and well-being. However, 32% of livestock breeds are threatened. Such an irreversible loss of genetic diversity reduces opportunities to improve food security, reduce poverty and shift towards sustainable agricult...

Autor: Drucker, A.G.

This paper adapts the safe minimum standard (SMS) approach so as to explore its use as a potential policy decision support tool that can be applied to issues related to the conservation and sustainable use of farm animal genetic resource (AnGR) diversity. Empirical SMS cost estimates are obtained...

Economic analysis can play an important role in the sustainable management of animal genetic resources (AnGR). The first report on The State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (first SoW-AnGR) (FAO, 2007a) included a section on methods for econ...


Drucker, A.G.Ayalew, W.Zander, K.K.[Economics of animal genetic resources use and conservation]Economics of animal genetic resources use and conservation

Reasons for the accelerating loss of animal genetic resource (AnGR) diversity include indiscriminate crossbreeding, breed substitution, natural disasters and civil strife. The mechanisms through which these factors impact AnGR diversity are identified together with indigenous AnGR management prac...
