Agrobiodiversity refers to the variety and variability of living organisms that contribute to food and agriculture in the broadest sense, and that are associated with cultivating crops and rearing animals within ecological complexes. It is further expanded in some contexts to include all the organisms present in an agricultural landscape.

Weeds as Part of Agrobiodiversity
Outlook on Agriculture, 1999Weeds are part of agrobiodiversity, but they have not usually been considered as plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. Plant genetic resources primarily include crop plants and their wild relatives. But as both crops and weeds have been subjected to the influence of domestication and have co-evolved over a long period of time, they provide ...

Assessment of the Potential of Ecolabels to Promote Agrobiodiversity
AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2007We conducted a study to assess to what extent current ecolabels contain standards that stimulate conservation and sustainable use of on-farm biodiversity of agricultural landscapes (agrobiodiversity). First, we developed an agrobiodiversity management yardstick to assess and compare the labeling schemes of ecolabels for arable farming.

Cost of Conservation of Agrobiodiversity [PDF]
, 2002 The cost of conservation of germplasm stored in gene banks i.e., ex-situ collections has been studied in other parts of the world to estimate direct and indirect contributions by various actors involved in conservation. This is the first study of its kind in India done in collaboration with National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi.
