Summary

Certification of wild-harvested plants faces similar challenges to the fisheries sector in incentivising conservation with social impact. Benefits for harvesters may be held back by the time and resources required for certification, and the need to address resource governance at landscape level. This project will adapt innovations developed for fisheries to wild plants. Pilots in Morocco and Uzbekistan will test certification in multi-user landscapes; benefits as harvesters work towards certification; and securing multi-stakeholder commitments to market access and resource management.
