Biodiversity in agriculture

Biodiversity in agriculture refers to the variety of living organisms, including different crops, animals, insects, and microorganisms, found on farms. It promotes ecosystem health by supporting pollination, natural pest control, and soil fertility. A diverse agricultural system reduces reliance on a single crop or chemical inputs, making farms more resilient to pests, diseases, and changing weather. Maintaining biodiversity helps ensure sustainable food production, preserves genetic resources, and benefits the broader environment by supporting wildlife and natural processes.
