Demonstrates the intimate relationship between biological diversity
and cultural diversity. The 15 contributors look at experimentation
using crops such as rice, maize, beans and root crops, illustrated
by case studies from India, Nepal and Nigeria among others. There
are also studies of water harvesting in the Sudan and of the home
gardens in South India.;The findings of this study show: farmers do
experiment; farmers know their local environments intimately, and
their experiments are usually site-specific; farmers have a close
and detailed knowledge of local cultivators, and are well aware of
the need to promote biological diversity; the experiments underlie
the imporatnce of "in situ" conservation, including the protection
of wild plants; and any attempts of local conservation of natural
resources should involve the local inhabitants.;This collection
emphasizes the importance of cultural factors and will contribute
to the debate about biological diversity.
