Practical Implementation of
GIAHS Concept in China: GIAHS and NIAHS
Prof. Dr. Min Qingwen
CAS-IGSNRR-CNACH
• Historical Review: Decade of
Grinding Sword
• Practical Implementation: Three Key
Mechanisms
• Way Forward
• In 2005, Qingtian Rice-Fish Culture System
was designated as the first GIAHS pilot site
in China.
• In China: One of typical traditional eco-
agriculture with more than 2000 years.
• In Qingtian: Over 1200 years history
with plenty of agrobiodiversity, cultural
diversity and remarkable landscape.
• From 2009 to 2014, FAO/GEF GIAHS
project-China Pilot was implemented by
MOA, CAS and Qingtian County.
• In 2012, China-NIAHS program
was launched officially.
• In 2015, FAO/GEF-GIAHS Project China Pilot
Summary Meeting and Ten-Year Anniversary
of Qingtian RFC Designated as GIAHS Site
was held in Qingtian.
Conserving
GIAHS/NIAHS is ——
• One of the important contents to inherit and promote
traditional Chinese cultures;
• One of the effective measures to fill in gaps in
natural and cultural heritage conservation;
• One of the basic requirements to promote
sustainable agricultural development; and
• One of the effective approaches to promote farmers'
employment and income.
• Historical Review: Decade of
Grinding Sword
• Practical Implementation: Three Key
Mechanisms
• Way Forward
• Policy Incentive Mechanism;
• Multi-Stakeholders Participation
Mechanism; and
• Integrated Industrial Development
Mechanism.
Three Mechanisms——
• National/Local preferential
policies for GIAHS/NIAHS
conservation and
development;
• Payment for Ecosystem
Services;
• GIAHS/NIAHS-labeling
products;
• Model Farmers.
(1) Policy Incentive Mechanism
• In 2014, Mr. JIN Yuepin from Qingtian
awarded by FAO as“Asian Model
Farmer”for his contribution to RFC
conservation and development.
(2) Multi-Stakeholders Participation
Mechanism
The Five-in-One Model:
• Governments (Central & local, different sectors);
• Multi-disciplinary Scientists (ecologists,
agronomists, economists, historians, planners,
managers, …);
• Local communities &Farmers;
• Enterprises; and
• Social aspects (Media, educators, citizens, NGOs)
S&T supporting——
• Muilti-disciplinary research
(Evaluation of ecosystem serices,
resilience and sustainability;
Local farmers’ attitude; Dynamic
conservation theory and best
practices; … );
• Expert-guided conservation and
development;
• Academic exchange and
experiences sharing.
• East Asia Research Association for
Agriculture Heritage Systems (ERAHS)
established in Beijing in 2013.
• In November 2014, Agri-cultural Heritage
Systems Branch of China Association of
Agricultural Science Societies (ACHS-
CAASS) established.
Local Communities and Farmers——
• More and more farmers join and obtain
benefits from conservation of GIAHS/NIAHS.
Social Aspects——
• Media
• Citizens
• NGOs
• Young volunteers…

• Historical Review: Decade of
Grinding Sword
• Practical Implementation: Three Key
Mechanisms
• Way Forward
• How to tradeoff GIAHS conservation to
industrialization/urbanization/agri-modernization;
• How to promote the special policies and funds for
GIAHS conservation researches and practices;
• How to attract more enterprises and citizens to
join the conservation and deal with the possible
conflicts with farmers;
• How to balance the benefits among farmers inside
and outside of GIAHS/NIAHS sites
• How to monitor the over-used the resources or
abused GIAHS/NIAHS logo.
Main problems or challenges——
• International collaboration (of bilateral, multilateral,
regional and global)
• Institutional improvement (of national and local);
• Integrated survey (of potential GIAHS/NIAHS sites)
and multi-disciplinary research (of ecological,
economic, social and cultural) .
• Information sharing (demonstration and diffusion of
GIAHS/NIAHS sites); and
• Intelligence increase and capacity building (of
decision makers, managers, citizens and farmers)
Main Tasks——
