The best way to ensure the protection of farm biodiversity is to save it on the fields of farmers. If farm biodiversity is saved on the farms of ordinary farmers, then this means that this becomes accessible to all farmers and people just as it should be and just as it was in times of our ancestors who had contributed so much to this farm biodiversity ( as against the experience of fast decline of farm biodiversity in recent times). Firstly, farm biodiversity must definitely be saved as a big priority and it must be saved on the fields of farmers (while publicly owned gene banks can play a supportive role). All those who are working in this direction and to take forward this objective are doing a great service to humanity and to farming and farm biodiversity.
