Food Crop Resilience

Food crop resilience data include information about the occurrence and richness of crop wild relatives, which are under threat from land conversion and climate change. Crop wild relatives serve as a source of species information and genetic diversity. Genetic diversity is often needed to develop cultivars that resist novel pathogens or climate stressors in order to promote long-term food reliability.
