Los recursos fitogenéticos de interés agrolimentario: Entre la biodiversidad, el desarrollo rural y la conservación del paisaje

Abstract

The recovery of autochthonous cattle breeds and local varieties of fruit, vegetable and cereals has become a fundamental task in the struggle to prevent genetic erosion and to conserve an agricultural heritage, the promotion and modernising of which can have a significant knock-on effect when it comes to job creation and the development of rural areas, linked to both top quality food and drink products and designations of origin, and farming culture, landscape conservation and maintaining domestic and wild biodiversity.
