Agricultural biodiversity is the variety and variability of plants, animals, and microorganisms within agricultural ecosystems. It encompasses diverse crops, livestock, and other organisms essential for food production. Maintaining agricultural biodiversity is crucial for resilient and sustainable farming practices. Diverse crops enhance resistance to pests and diseases, improve soil fertility, and contribute to overall ecosystem health. Traditional farming methods, local varieties, and heirloom breeds play a vital role in preserving this diversity. Agrobiodiversity supports food security by ensuring a broad range of genetic resources, essential for adapting to changing climates and evolving agricultural challenges. Conservation efforts and sustainable farming practices aim to safeguard agricultural biodiversity, fostering resilient and productive ecosystems that benefit both farmers and the planet.
