Conservation and
sustainable-use for tropical flowers and foliages
The
value chain of flowers and foliages is a growing export sector in
Colombia, taking into account that the diversity of species provides
the country with a competitive advantage in international markets.
The following are some of the practices that can be involved in
these production systems:
-
Promotion of native species
-
Good management of soils and habitats
-
Low or non-production of waste
-
Contribution to the improvement of landscape composition
-
Diversification of cultivated areas
- Conservation
of water sources and prevention against soil erosion.
Currently,
local authorities have supported the definition of Good Agricultural
Practices for this sector. BTFP, in coordination with the National
BioTrade Programme of Colombia and other national partners, is
supporting the development of guidelines for the definition of
potential conservation practices and the identification of
promissory foliage species.
