Nguyen, T.; Drucker, A.G. (2013) Reviewed and proposed indicators for agrobiodiversity conservation services. Rome (Italy): Bioversity International. 46 p.

This literature review of agrobiodiversity (ABD)-related indicators seeks to contribute towards a framework for ABD valuation, by identifying the main groups of indicators that can cover the public good benefits generated by ABD (landscape level agroecosystem resilience support, maintenance of traditional knowledge and local identities, global option values). Through the review of existing ABD indicators, this report also identifies the research gaps and provides recommendations regarding the development of a holistic indicator set for measuring the critical ecosystem services associated with ABD.
