What organization has established the global important agricultural cultural heritage?

GIAHS (Global Important Agricultural Cultural Heritage) is a global important agricultural cultural heritage protection action jointly initiated by FAO and UNDP in 2002, and it is a tentative step to establish a dynamic protection system with global knowledge and sustainable development.

The system emphasizes the sustainable development ability of global agriculture and provides an exchange platform for protecting the global agricultural cultural heritage.

A prominent feature of this action is to protect the traditional agricultural system and its natural and human environment as a whole, not only to protect traditional farming techniques and traditional crop varieties, but also to protect the natural and human environment closely related to agricultural cultural heritage, including topography, soil vegetation, biological landscape, village style, residential buildings, folk beliefs, etiquette and customs.
