Guidance on UEBT Standard Principle 2: Sustainable use of cultivated species

 
 

Principle 2 of the UEBT standard promotes sustainable use of biodiversity.  One key aspect of this principle is the sustainable use of the cultivated species1 and the prevention or mitigation of negative impact of cultivation on other interdependent species. Criterion 2.1 focuses on these issues. 

 The focus of this fact sheet is to support companies and organisations to ensure the sustainable use of cultivated species. 

It is part of a series of technical guidance documents, meant to support the implementation of key issues of the UEBT standard. It was developed with the support of the BioTrade facilitation programme, UNCTAD.  UEBT and UNCTAD acknowledge the financial contribution of the Swiss State Secretariat of Economic Affairs (SECO).
