  • Summary

People living in the Kailash Sacred Landscape in Far Western Nepal depend significantly on crop diversity, both cultivated and wild, for food, nutrition and income. Nearly 85 percent of households also rely exclusively on wild and noncultivated edible plants for one or more months of the year. Conservation of this unique agroecological system is crucial for the future of this food-insecure region.
