Paper long abstract
In this paper, local knowledge of peasants of Sub-Himalayan North Bengal (India) regarding vegetable crop-biodiversities will be illustrated with suitable examples. Local crops and crop diversities are going to be enlisted here elaborately. These local strains and wild varieties enrich the genetic pool in the local ecosystems. Local peasants though prefer improved varieties and hybrids, but they also conserve the traditional/ local varieties as well. They do not rule out organic manure application.
