Introduction These catalogues, listed below were developed under the Global Project, Strengthening the scientific basis of agricultural biodiversity on farm: Nepal component. Crop species based catalogue of 11 mandate crops of on farm conservation were developed for general references. Information was mostly collected from Participatory Rural Appraisal, published documents of on farm agricultural biodiversity conservation project and Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC).
