Global diversity in vegetable crops is estimated about 400 species, with about 80
species of major and minor vegetables reported to have originated in India. About
37% of cultivated vegetable species were determined to have an Asian–Pacific
origin, 22% originated in the Americas, 17% are from the region spanning Europe,
the Mediterranean, Near East and Central Asia, 15% originated from Saharan
and sub-saharan Africa, and 10% are wide ranging species that cross several
world regions. However, with the advent of cut-and-burn agriculture and green
revolution/commercialized agriculture, the development project areas and related
activities of these diverse resources are declining at a fast pace. Overgrazing,
deforestation, and overexploitation of native resources under range situations
have eroded the biodiversity of vegetable crops from this unique ecosystem.
Moreover, traditional knowledge about important indigenous plant species has
also decreased in the younger generation influenced by urbanization.
