ABSTRACT
Integrated home gardens capitalize various natural capitals for sustainable livelihoods, income and sustainable management of land, water and ecosystem on a small scale. Home gardens are traditional time-tested multi-crop systems that may harbour globally and locally important tropical fruit genetic resources. They are characteristic production systems in Indonesian rural landscapes. The GPD was identified in two communities in East Java by the Assessment Institute for Agricultural Technology (BPTP) Java Timur jointly implemented with the Indonesian Center of Horticulture Research (ICHORD) and Bioversity International, focusing on mango and citrus fruit tree species. The integrated home gardens of these communities have continued to maintain inter- and intraspecific mango and citrus diversity. High intraspecific diversity is found in home gardens of custodian households both in Tiron, Kediri and in Bibis, Magetan, and some of them have elite traits that have been multiplied in community fruit nurseries and distributed to other community members.
