FAO Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) Explainer

Thousands of years ago, our ancestors started growing crops and raising livestock, which led to a change in our relationship with nature.
Instead of constantly foraging for food, we learned how to work with land, water and the elements around us to grow everything we needed to thrive by keeping a harmonic relationship with our environment and the natural resources that surrounded us.
More recently, we've made drastic changes to our lifestyles.
To recognize traditional agriculture's invaluable role in contributing to resilient and sustainable agrifood systems,
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) launched the Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) Programme.
