Crop wild relatives (CWR) are species closely related to crop plants which can contribute beneficial traits such as pest or disease resistance and yield improvement. Through an examination of national, regional and global context of CWR, this text presents methodologies and case studies that provide recommendations for global conservation and use.

Based on the 2010 conference "Towards the establishment of genetic reserves for crop wild relatives and landraces in Europe", this book is the cutting edge discussion of agrobiodiversity conservation. By considering the benefits of understanding and preserving crop wild relatives and landraces, it encompasses issues as wide-ranging and topical as habitat protection, ecosystem health and food security. Focusing on Europe, but globally relevant, Agrobiodiversity Conservation is ideal for postgraduate students of conservation and environmental studies, conservation professionals, policy makers and researchers.

Maintaining food security in the face of human population increase and climate change is one of the critical challenges facing us in the 21st Century. Utilisation of the full range of agrobiodiversity will be a necessary tool in addressing this challenge. In this book a team of international contributors review all aspects of utilization and conservation of crop wild relative (CWR) and landrace (LR) diversity as a basis for crop improvement and future food security. This book will appeal to a wide array of specialists and postgraduate students, such as those working in the fields of agrobiodiversity conservation and use, conservation, ecology, botany, genetics, plant breeding and agriculture.

This book includes papers presented at the 2021 online meeting of the Fodder Crops and Amenity Grasses Section of EUCARPIA. The theme of the meeting 'Exploiting genetic diversity of forages to fulfil their economic and environmental roles' was presented in four sessions (1) Natural diversity - a valuable source for breeding, (2) Characterizing genetic diversity - the basis for selection, (3) Strategies to optimally exploit genetic diversity and (4) ""Minor"" and ""new"" species - solution for future challenges. Parts I to IV of this book correspond to these four sessions. Part V contains the contributions from the Festulolium Working Group Workshop. The book provides a unique source of information on the most recent results on breeding and research of forage species.
