Principle 2: Sustainable use of biodiversity

Criteria Guidance Evidence & Scoring Importance & Applicability
Criteria 2.1: Criteria 2.1: Practices are adopted to ensure sustainable use of the species cultivated or wild collected, and to prevent or mitigate negative impact on other species


2.1.15

(For cultivation) Characteristics of the cultivated species are identified using field observations, existing studies and local knowledge



 Information about the cultivated plant species shall include, among others:
  • varieties
  • production cycle
  • yields
  • propensity for pests and diseases
  • interdependency with other crops and species Information can be gathered by commissioning or conducting studies, learnings from field experience and local knowledge. Information is adequate when it provides insights that can be used to inform the management of the cultivated species and the implementation of cultivation practices in line with the relevant biodiversity requirements of the UEBT standard (e.g. 1.2, 2.1, 2.2). For compliance (score 2) at least information listed under the first three (3) bullet points is available.
    The UEBT Baseline assessment template includes all relevant information to be gathered and can be used for reporting. OaS is responsible for gathering this information. The OaS can consult external experts, individual or groups of farmers, and other relevant informants in the process of gathering relevant information. Farmers and farm workers are to be aware of the characteristics of the cultivated species.

    • DOCUMENTATION

    The UEBT Baseline assessment template filled out can be used as evidence of compliance or any other documents reporting relevant information on the cultivated species.


    INTERVIEWS

    Conversations with relevant informants that show the relevant information is available/known can be used as evidence for compliance.

    Scoring guidance

    0 - No information is available on the characteristics of cultivated species
    1 - A plan to gather Information is defined and information sources are identified
    2 - Most of the relevant characteristics of cultivated species are known but information available can be further integrated to be completely adequate
    3 - All relevant characteristics of cultivated species are known and information available is adequate

    N/A – in the justification, please explain why
