Flowchart

The preparation of a CWR checklist can be seen as an eight stage process:

Determine the geographic scope (if not national).
Establish whether a regional CWR checklist already exists.
Determine the scope of the CWR checklist.
Produce a digitized list of crops.
Produce a digitized list of the national flora.
Match the crop genera against the floristic checklist and generate the CWR checklist.
Annotate the CWR checklist.
Make the checklist available to users.
