Biodiversity In Agriculture

Biodiversity In Agriculture highlights the crucial role of crop diversity in securing our food supply amidst climate change and resource depletion. It argues that embracing agricultural biodiversity is not just beneficial but essential for a resilient food future, especially given the risks of monoculture farming. For instance, the book explores how simplified agricultural systems become increasingly vulnerable to pests and environmental stresses, impacting long-term food security.

The book delves into the value of crop diversity, the dangers of agricultural uniformity, and biodiversity-based solutions for food security and ecological stability. It systematically builds its case, starting with the historical context of crop domestication and genetic diversity loss, then examining the ecological and economic risks of monoculture.

Subsequent sections explore strategies for conserving agricultural biodiversity, such as on-farm conservation and seed banking. The book emphasizes the need for context-specific solutions and collaborative partnerships, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and policymakers alike.
