“…The data contained in the National Register must be considered the "official" data on Italian agrobiodiversity, since this is the tool by which the Italian government implemented European Community guidelines on agrobiodiversity conservation. The data reflect the situation globally, as it is recognized that, worldwide, our knowledge of biodiversity includes only 20% of the total estimated number of species [36]. Coordination of the stakeholders in charge of agrobiodiversity conservation and study therefore appears fundamental.…”

“…These actions should be implemented as soon as possible to avoid the loss of such resources, as, from our survey, only 33.4% of landraces are grown by professional farmers, while the remaining (66.6%) are grown by hobbyist farmers. In general, the absence of detailed knowledge on agrobiodiversity prevents the application of methodological tools that could successfully assist in biodiversity conservation, and inventories are a first step to assessing biodiversity richness and distribution patterns and monitoring changes [36]. Concomitantly, the conservation of agroecosystems and traditional farming methods together with the protection of buffer areas of biodiversity such as dry walls, green infrastructures, and ecotone belts (and other typologies of habitat defined by directive 92/43 ECC) can guarantee the conservation of a high level of biodiversity and the conservation of species also including crop wild relatives.…”

“…Legume landraces are submitted to a general trend in modern agriculture characterized by its fast replacement by modern cultivars, with increasing danger of erosion and extinction ( Almekinders and de Boef, 1999 ; Negri et al, 2009 ; Pinheiro de Carvalho et al, 2016 ). This trend determines an overall concern for their ex situ conservation in germplasm collections, while almost 150 thousands landraces of six major grain legumes are actually stored (see Genesys, 2015 ).…”
