36
Q

Genetic diversity in food systems provides the foundation of crop
development and food security, and promotes resistance and resilience to
environmental stresses including pests and diseases of crops and livestock. Diets
based on a diversity of food species promote health, and can help to protect
against disease by addressing the problem of micronutrient and vitamin
deficiencies. Loss of agricultural biodiversity can therefore threaten health,
livelihood sustainability and our future security of food and nutrition.

A

Biodiversity supports food security, dietary health, livelihood sustainability

37
Q

habitat loss, overharvesting,
invasive species, climate change
