Abstract

Enhancing awareness among farming communities is important within a community biodiversity management (CBM) process. Awareness-raising practices increase community participation in managing biodiversity in a systematic way by changing their present mind-set and behaviour. Enhancing awareness is also important for encouraging consumers, development workers, policy-makers and farming communities to make continued use of local crops and varieties, thereby contributing to their conservation (Rijal et al., 2000).
