3. AgroEcosystem Service
Agriculture can provide
numerous commodity and non-commodity outputs,
some of which benefit the public without compensating the farmer.
AgroEcosystem (Elliott and Cole, 1989) as in classical definition
an interactive group of biotic and abiotic components
some of which are under human control
that forms a unified whole (ecosystem)
for the purpose of producing food and fiber
Non-commodity outputs (public services) as is Ecological Services
ecological functions
(e.g. biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and carbon sequestration) and
cultural functions
(e.g. recreation, cultural heritage, and visual quality)

16. 2.2 WMO Reform relevant to CAgM
2 “Quick Wins”:
Improved Documentation
Mechanism for communication between TCs and RAs
Continuation of Task Group, focussing on:
How best to orientate the constituent bodies of WMO to deliver the Strategic Plan
The practicalities of reducing the intergovernmental part of constituent body sessions
Recommendations to EC-63 by TG:
Review the extent to which Expert Teams and Working Groups have clear time-bound deliverables
Exchange of best practice between presidents of TCs and RAs associations
Ensure ToRs for EC Working Groups and Inter-Commission Task Teams define clear separation of roles
