Special Issue on Agricultural Biodiversity

crops and their wild relatives, trees, animals, microbes and other species that
contribute to agricultural production. This diversity - which results from
thousands of years of interactions among people and the environment - is a key

promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in this area of agricultural
biodiversity .
