Español: Estudio Global sobre el empoderamiento de la comunidad para la conservación in situ de los recursos fitogenéticos para la alimentación y la agricultura. 

Community Biodiversity Management (CBM) has been developed as a methodology to support and empower farmers as well as their local organizations for sustainably managing their biodiversity providing communities benefits at the environmental, social and economic level. The main focus is on plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA), as a key component of biodiversity. Whereas most studies so far have addressed the technical, ecological and genetic aspects of conservation in situ and on-farm, the current study focuses on the contribution of CBM as a methodology to empowerment, for strengthening the scientific basis of CBM.
