    How do you grow vegetables in a'semi-wild' way?

    • To grow vegetables in a 'semi-wild' way, as suggested by The Permaculture Research Institute, you toss out the seeds and let the vegetables grow up with the weeds in a vacant plot, riverbank, or open wasteland. The crucial aspect is knowing the right time to plant.

    Why do we need a crop wild relative?

    • Their domestication promoted the rise of civilizations and shaped cultures, and they are treasure troves for maintaining food security. However, shrinkage of their populations worldwide demands better conservation to retain their valuable biodiversity. Crop wild relatives (CWRs) are direct ancestors of, or closely related species to, modern crops.

    Why do we need a diversity of crops & livestock?

    • The diversity of crops and livestock, including their wild relatives, sustain production systems, provide nutrition and enable adaptation to climate change. For example, without a diverse range of pollinators – a vast array of insects and animals – crop production would decline quickly.

    Can a plant be a wild relative of a crop?

    • Not any plant can be a wild relative of a crop. Since agriculture began, roughly 12,000 years ago, humans have explored the use of nearly 10,000 plant species for food and fodder production 1. Only about 150 of these species yielded useful domesticates, and a smaller subset of 15 major crops became staples.

    Can vegetables be grown on a farm?

    • Yes, vegetables can be grown on a farm. If you are fortunate enough to live on a farm or small holding, you would have the place and space to grow your own vegetables. The main aim of semi-wild vegetable growing is to grow crops as naturally as possible on land that would otherwise be left unused.
