“From soil to microorganisms, bugs, plant varieties, pollinators and plenty more, agrobiodiversity is the complexity of life in agricultural landscapes. Why is it important? Agrobiodiversity is clearly connected with healthy ecosystems and communities. Today, our world faces complex challenges, and these require complex solutions, one of which is agrobiodiversity,” says Francesca Grazioli, an expert on biodiversity in food and agriculture and Researcher at the Alliance.
