Agrodiversity: Learning from Farmers Across the World

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Through generations of innovation and experiment, smallholder farmers have nurtured a rich diversity of plants and animals, both wild and domesticated. This publication is based on the fieldwork of the United Nations University Project on People, Land Management and Environmental Change (PLEC), a project that studies how farmers use their knowledge and expertise to efficiently manage biodiversity and environmental resources. It highlights smallholder farmers' positive experiences and draws lessons in support of agrobiodiversity.
