Practices to Enhance and Promote Agricultural Biodiversity at Community Level: PLEC Experiences

Diversity of crops and varieties at community level: Diversity at farm level in terms of Agrobiodiversity and management diversity

300 plant species, multitude of soil flora and fauna, 10 pollinators, by- laws, ecosystem conservation including livestock, soil conservation and storage. Timing for identification of farm biodiversity

Recovering disappearing indigenous biodiversity Introducing new species Nurseries for disappearing biodiversity
