Book excerpt: Los parientes silvestres de cultivos son posibles fuentes de caracteres deseables para la obtención de variedades bien adaptadas, mientras que las plantas silvestres comestibles son componentes importantes de la dieta de muchas personas en todo el mundo. Lamentablemente, sus hábitats silvestres naturales están cada vez más amenazados por las actividades humanas y las catástrofes naturales. La pérdida de hábitat repercute de manera directa y negativa en la diversidad de estos valiosos recursos. Las presentes directrices, concebidas como material de referencia para la elaboración de un Plan nacional para la conservación y el uso sostenible de parientes silvestres de cultivos y plantas silvestres comestibles, contribuirán a frenar esta continua pérdida de diversidad. Las directrices son, por consiguiente, un instrumento útil para profesionales del desarrollo, investigadores, estudiantes y responsables de la formulación de políticas que trabajan en la conservación y el uso sostenible de estos valiosos recursos.
