Seeds of Plenty
Seeds of Hope

A large number of grass root efforts are in progress for the on-farm conservation of indigenous genetic resources. This book attempts to capture these efforts that have been in progress in Asia. The coverage of the groups involved in this effort is by no means exhaustive and must only be considered as representative of this effort. It is hoped that the book will promote sharing and exchange of information as well as materials wherever desirable and feasible and also lead to the formation of networks and coalitions in this important area of work
