Description Domestication of plants began long ago when the nomadic human beings turned from gatherers
to growers and started growing plants of their choice for food and other needs. Since then man
has depended heavily on biodiversity including plants and it’s parts as source of food. Crop
diversity is part of the biological diversity and includes the resources that contribute to people’s
livelihoods by providing food, feed, medicine, fiber, clothing, shelter and energy. Hence, it

increase productivity and reduce malnutrition...........
