Professor R obert E . R hoades worked for four decades to construct a comparative, international anthropology of mountain agrobiodiversity. This paper presents research in the tradition of R hoades's applied agrobiodiversity studies. Baseline landrace inventories were compiled from A ppalachia and the O zark H ighlands, U nited S tates, based on in‐depth ethnoecological research. Results illustrate that southern/central A ppalachia is the most diverse foodshed at the varietal level in the U nited S tates, C anada, and northern M exico studied to date. Examples of how this research has contributed to several in situ agrobiodiversity conservation projects are provided.
