9815141 Smith This U.S.-Brazil Program award will support a planning visit by Dr. Nigel J. Smith of the University of Florida to Belem, Brazil, to develop a collaborative research project with Dr. Giorgini Venturieri of the Federal University of Para, on the market impacts on agrobiodiversity among small land holders in the Eastern Amazonia region. Their project will look at the impacts of market integration on the diversity of crops and varieties maintained by small farmers in the rainforests of the Eastern Amazonia region as they are increasingly pulled into the orbit of burgeoning urban centers. By examining the decision-making process of the addition/dropping of crops and cultivars in response to market forces, niche markets can be developed for heirloom varieties of plants, thus resuscitating varieties that would otherwise be lost. ***

小行星9815141 这个美国-巴西方案奖将支持佛罗里达大学的奈杰尔·J·史密斯博士对巴西贝伦进行规划访问，与帕拉联邦大学的乔治尼·文图里耶里博士就市场对东亚马逊地区小土地所有者农业生物多样性的影响开展合作研究项目。 他们的项目将研究市场一体化对东亚马逊地区热带雨林小农户所保持的作物和品种多样性的影响，因为他们越来越多地被拉入新兴城市中心的轨道。 通过审查根据市场力量增加/减少作物和栽培品种的决策过程，可以为传家宝品种的植物开发利基市场，从而恢复否则将失去的品种。 ***
