The study was conducted in five Gram Panchayats in the Kureseong block of West Bengal's Darjeeling district, namely Ghayabari, Tindharia, Singel, Mahanandi, and Rongtong. Local communities in this surveyed region cultivated or planted a total of 41 vegetable and fruit species. There are 31 general and 19 families for these species. The most widely cultivated vegetable was discovered to be Sechium edule, followed by Brassica juncea, Colocassia esculenta, and Utica parviflora. The most common genus was Brassica, which was followed by Capsicum. Rosaceae was the most numerous family among the fruit species studied, with five species. Citrus grandis, Musa spp., Psidium guajava, Pyrus pyrifolia, peaches, and plums are all grown in small quantities here. The aforementioned vegetables and fruit plants are high in vitamins, proteins, polypeptides, and flavonoids. As a result, for the well-being of local communities as well as the conservation of biodiversity, sustainable management of these resources is required.
