Restore the diversity of plants important for sustainable farming, forestry and fisheries.
10 (a) Support and put in place sustainable management programmes for existing areas under agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry and increase the proportion of those areas that is managed sustainably to ensure the conservation and restoration of associated wild plant diversity, including crop wild relatives.
10 (b) Include a special effort to conserve landraces, both in situ and ex situ, and promote the wider use of landraces to support the diversification of crops and cropping systems.

“Ultimately, all production lands should be managed sustainably, without detrimental impacts on plant diversity. In the context of this Action, agricultural land may be defined as “production lands” where the primary purpose is agriculture, also encompassing land for horticulture, grazing, or wood production. The sectors to be considered under this Action include, inter alia, croplands, pasture, forestry, including harvesting of non-timber forest products, and aquaculture.”
Enhance Biodiversity and Sustainability in Agriculture, Aquaculture, Fisheries, and Forestry
“Ensure that areas under agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry are managed sustainably, in particular through the sustainable use of biodiversity, including through a substantial increase of the application of biodiversity friendly practices, such as sustainable intensification, agroecological and other innovative approaches contributing to the resilience and long-term efficiency and productivity of these production systems and to food security, conserving and restoring biodiversity and maintaining nature’s contributions to people, including ecosystem functions and services.”
