Crop Wild Relatives: A Manual of in situ Conservation
This manual, the first in a new series of Issues in Agricultural Biodiversity from Earthscan and Bioversity International, focuses on the in situ, or on the ground, conservation of crop wild relatives. These species represent a vital genetic resource for breeding the new and better varieties that will be needed to maintain and increase the productivity of our crops and to allow them to survive under the new conditions created by climate change.
