Abstract:
The idea of plant conservation is essential for maintaining ecological stability and food security because plants are the basis for all life on Earth. Farmers and communities can benefit greatly from the knowledge and practices of plant conservation that are promoted by agricultural extension services. Agricultural extension services can assist farmers in implementing sustainable farming practices that promote biodiversity and plant protection by offering knowledge on these methods. However, there are challenges in integrating plant conservation into AES policies and programs, including limited funding and conflicting goals. AES can also help conserve and use endangered and underutilized plant species, which has consequences for rural development, livelihoods, and innovative agriculture. Stronger interdisciplinary cooperation and partnerships are required to increase the function and effects of AES on plants.
