This poster was presented in Spanish, but here you can find an Abstract in English.
In situ conservation takes place in the natural environment of the agrobiodiversity species and their wild relatives. This work synthesizes the in situ conservation efforts of the Subdirectorate of Genetic Resources (SDRG) of the National Institute of Agrarian Innovation in Peru. The SDRG has the legal mandate to lead in situ conservation actions at the national level, and develops related projects since the 1990s. Its activities have focused on: (1) conserving agrobiodiversity in farmer / breeder farms, with several projects implemented, highlighting the GEF Project "In situ conservation of native crops and their wild relatives", and the FAO Project "Reassessment and safeguarding of the ancestral knowledge for the management of Agroecosystems and Agrobiodiversity to generate the SIPAM site Andean Agriculture"; and (2) preparation of synthesis reports, policies and articulation with other sectors, highlighting the National Reports of the State of Genetic Resources, and the promulgation of the Supreme Decree on the Recognition of Agrobiodiversity Zones. These advances reinforce in situ conservation in Peru, but show the need to: (1) develop the National Agrobiodiversity Inventory to identify priority areas; (2) strengthen conservation in farmers / breeders' farms in partnership with regional and local governments; (3) implement the national system of Agrobiodiversity Zones; and (4) design studies on ecosystem services of agrobiodiversity and the processes and factors that influence its conservation in situ. The strengthening of these capacities will allow to support in the improvement of the quality of life of the conservationist farmers.
