On farm agricultural biodiversity refers to the variety and variability of agricultural crops. This study used structured and semi-structured interview at households (HH) and community levels to garner the data on socio-economy, on-farm agricultural practices, crop productions, production areas, knowledge on food security, balanced diet and sources of income.
