Agrobiodiversity Conservation: Securing the Diversity of Crop Wild Relatives and Landraces

By considering the benefits of understanding and preserving crop wild relatives and landraces, this book encompasses issues as wide-ranging and topical as habitat protection, ecosystem health and food security. The book is based on the 2010 conference 'Towards the establishment of genetic reserves for crop wild relatives and landraces in Europe'. Focusing on Europe, but globally relevant, Agrobiodiversity Conservation is ideal for postgraduate students of conservation and environmental studies, conservation professionals, policy makers and researchers.
