Indigenous fruit species as a significant resource for sustainable development
Abstract
Sustainable agriculture means increasing yields and profits without degrading
the natural resources which are the most important for agricultural
production. The aim is to meet the people’s needs for food and improve the
quality of life while preserving the environment. Among hundreds of forest
species, particular attention is drawn to the wild relatives of cultivated
fruit trees, so called indigenous fruit trees, whose regular collection,
production and use can affect all aspects of agricultural economy. The
natural habitats of the Republic of Serbia include 15 families and 26 genera
with 100 species of wild fruit trees. The primary use of the indigenous
fruits is for human consumption (either fresh or processed). A number of wild
relatives of cultivated fruit trees could be used in the future as rootstocks
for fruit production, or for large-scale production, either organic or
conventional. In addition, indigenous fruit species are carriers of genes...
for resistance to economically important diseases and pests, and they can be
used in breeding of fruit trees and grapevines. Wild species of fruit trees
are used as planting materials for afforestation and erosion prevention, some
for timber production, as well as some decorative forms in landscape
architecture, while some species are important bee pastures.
