Community based approach to on-farm conservation and sustainable use of agricultural biodiversity in Asia
Bioversity International (Bioversity International)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/34630
Abstract
On-farm conservation is a process of the continuous cultivation and management of a diverse set of populations by farmers in the agro-ecosystem where a crop has evolved. The continued evolution and adaptation of a species/cultivar, including adaptation to climate change, thus depend on continuous on farm management…
