| 1. To provide modern technology, training in modem farming methods and financial support to local communities of identified GIAHS so as to greatly enhance their agricultural productivity |
| 2. To identify and safeguard eco-friendly traditional farm practices and their associated landscapers, agricultural biodiversity and knowledge systems of the local communities |
| 3. To provide Geographical Indication status to all the varieties of agricultural produce in such identified GIAHS |
A) 1 and 3 only
B) 2 only
C) 2 and 3 only
D) 1, 2 and 3
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
In order to safeguard and support the world?s agri-cultural heritage systems, in 2002 FAO started an initiative for the dynamic conservation of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS). The GIAHS Initiative promotes public understanding, awareness, national and international recognition of Agricultural Heritage systems. It aims to identify and ensure global recognition of the importance of unique traditional agricultural systems for food security and sustainable development. The GIAHS initiative explicitly recognises that change in ?traditional? political, social and economic processes is inevitable; they cannot be frozen or re-created. There is no provision to give Geographical indication to ?ALL? varieties. Hence statement 3 is wrong. By elimination method, we are left with answer B- only 2.
