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. Not Available |
