DOI: 10.1007/s10457-017-0094-5
Abstract: Societal processes of rural change and globalization may change homegardens and their contribution to the conservation of agrobiodiversity, particularly of species occurring naturally in regional vegetation. The best way to determine if this occurs is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12571-020-01088-x
Abstract: The COVID-19 crisis is worsening food insecurity by undermining informal food chains. We focus on impacts involving the informal food chains that incorporate the resilience-enhancing biodiversity of food and agriculture known as agrobiodiversity. Our analysis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ancene.2019.100192
Abstract: Abstract Multiple knowledge systems are crucial to understand human-environment interactions of the biodiversity of agriculture and food systems (agrobiodiversity). This article synthesizes these knowledge systems to formulate the novel Agrobiodiversity Knowledge Framework comprised of four… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoforum.2021.01.002
Abstract: Abstract Agrobiodiversity scholarship broadly examines plant-human interactions in agricultural landscapes and often concerns the governance of seed resources. This article pivots attention away from agrobiodiversity as a set of governable genetic resources to examine how… read more here.

DOI: 10.2993/0278-0771-42.2.180
Abstract: Abstract. In the tropics, the reduction in fallow periods in shifting rice cultivation and deforestation have led to soil degradation. How crop diversity is managed by farmers to adapt to this change remains poorly studied.… read more here.
