In situ conservation is concerned with maintaining species’ populations in the natural habitats where they occur, whether as uncultivated plant communities or in farmers’ fields as part of existing agro-ecosystems. In situ conservation of crop plants involves the conservation on-farm of local crop cultivars (or landraces) with the active participation of farmers. The current project status is summarized here.
