In light of Bioversity International's virtual Science Month, Dr Adam Drucker, Theme Leader of Bioversity International's 'Conservation of crop diversity on the farm and in the wild' research theme, talks about the link between farmers' rights and incentive mechanisms such as payments for agrobiodiversity conservation services (PACS). 

The application of PACS specifically for agricultural biodiversity conservation is a new idea and Bioversity International is at its forefront. We are working in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, India and Nepal and several other countries, to test the potential of competitive tenders in creating cost-efficient strategies to conserve priority endangered species and also improve indigenous farmer livelihoods.
