Conservation of plant resources is often focused on seed banks and
botanical gardens. However, the two authors of this volume present
a comprehensive conservation strategy that complements this
"ex-situ" approach with practical guidance on "in-situ" management
and conservation of plant resources. The book aims to facilitate
better management of protected areas and to illustrate new
approaches to conservation of plants within their landscapes. It
draws on concepts from forestry, the agricultural sciences,
anthropology, ethnology and ethnobotany and should be useful to
practitioners, academics and policy-makers.

Based on twenty years of global research, this is the first
comprehensive reference on crop genetic diversity as it is
maintained on farmland around the world. Showcasing the findings of
seven experts representing the fields of ecology, crop breeding,
genetics, anthropology, economics, and policy, this invaluable
resource places farmer-managed crop biodiversity squarely in the
center of the science needed to feed the world and restore health
to our productive landscapes. It will prove to be an essential tool
in the training of agricultural and environmental scientists
seeking the solutions necessary to ensure healthy, resilient
ecosystems for future generations.
