Abstract
As part of the implementation of the Dryland Systems CRP in South Asia, Bioversity International
with funding support from ICRISAT, and in collaboration with GRAVIS and CAZRI carried out an
Agrobiodiversity Baseline Survey (ABD-BS) in 8 villages across three SRT2 districts of Rajasthan. The
baseline focused on the diversity of domesticated plant species grown by households on farm, home
gardens and community lands; it also included data on domesticated animals and useful crop wild
species. The survey included both qualitative and quantitative methods at community and
household levels. The aim of the assessment was to provide a broad inventory of the species
diversity used in the specific systems targeted by the CRP1.1, which can be related to indicators of
wellbeing, socioeconomic characteristics, loss of diversity and challenges faced by target households.
