agro-biodiversity

Agro-biodiversity refers to the variety of plant and animal species used in agriculture, including different crops, livestock breeds, and farming systems. It encompasses the genetic diversity within species and the variety of ecosystems where farming occurs. This diversity is crucial for resilience against pests, diseases, and changing climate conditions, ensuring food security and sustainable practices. Maintaining agro-biodiversity helps preserve natural resources, supports local cultures and traditions, and promotes more adaptable and productive farming systems for the future.
