The continued evolution and adaptation of a species/ cultivar, including adaptation to climate change, thus depend on continuous on farm management of local crop diversity. The paper discusses challenges of implementation of the on-farm conservation, despite signifi cant support from the global scientifi c as well as civil society agencies, as the preferred method of conservation. Illustrating the insights obtained from three research case studies on crops and fruits of donor funded on-farm initiatives in Nepal and India and South East Asia, the paper aims to highlight the role and importance of community involvement for on-farm conservation of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA). Community biodiversity management (CBM) emerged as an approach that is increasingly recognized as a process that contributes to on-farm conservation through the management of landscape, species and genetic diversity. Key Words: Agricultural biodiversity, Community biodiversity management, Home garden, In situ/ On-farm conservation, Sustainable livelihoods, Tropical fruit species Introduction The Convention on Biological Diversity and International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture both acknowledge the importance of in situ and on-farm conservation of agricultural biodiversity (UNEP, 1992; FAO, 1998). On-farm (in situ) conservation of cultivated plants refers to management of landraces/cultivars and occasionally cultivated wild relatives (as in the case of fruit species like mango) in the very place where they developed their present-day characteristics (Altieri and Merrick, 1987; Brush, 1995; Frankel et al., 1975; Sthapit and Rao, 2011 in press). On-farm conservation is a highly dynamic form of plant genetic resources (PGR) management, which allows the processes of both natural and human selection to continue to act in the production system. Farmer’s ability to search for new diversity, selection of new traits and exchange of selected materials with friends and relatives is the processes that allow the genetic material to evolve and change over time. This conservation method is increasingly valued for evolving new adaptive diversity and therefore, enhances farmer’s capacity to cope adversity resulting Author for Correspondence: E-mail: b.sthapit@cgiar.org Indian J. Plant Genet. Resour. 25(1): 97–110 (2012) from the consequences of socio-economic and market forces and climate change. In spite of these advantages, most agencies dealing with plant genetic resources conservation are facing the dilemma of implementing on-farm conservation of agricultural biodiversity in their national conservation programme as a functional strategy (Sthapit, Padulosi and Bhagmal, 2010). Most of globally implemented on-farm conservation projects are donor -funded with various objectives (Jarvis et al., 2004; CBDC, 1994). Global In situ Conservation Project launched in 1995 by Bioversity (then IPGRI) was aimed to understand the scientifi c basis of in situ and on-farm conservation of agricultural biodiversity, and to strengthen capacity of national partners for implementing on-farm conservation. The Community Biodiversity Development and Conservation Programme (CBDC) is another global initiative developed by governmental and non-governmental organizations (GOs and NGOs) involved in agricultural initiatives in Africa, Asia and Latin America, in cooperation with Northern partners to promote the objectives of CBD that
