Based on six indices, the warm subhumid to cool-humid Western Himalayan Region, consisting of the Kashmir valley, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, could be designated as an Agricultural Biodiversity Heritage Site. This region is rich in agro-biodiversity, with a large number of species being cultivated. Unique multicrop and horticulture based farming/production systems have evolved here, based on local resources and socioeconomic conditions, and integrated with human-animal-nature interactions and cultures suited to the diverse landscape that has been created by the various physical factors and micro-geo-climatic variability. Significant species and genetic diversity has evolved as a result of the interaction between the biophysical factors and the landscape, particularly in the case of temperature fruit crops and vegetables, which have a great future in the region.
