A diverse agricultural landscape is a healthy landscape. By embracing biodiversity, we can unlock solutions that not only enhance agricultural production and food security but also promote healthy soils, natural pest control, pollination, climate resilience and nutrition, while improving farmers’ wellbeing. This shift towards a more biodiverse approach to agriculture is crucial for building a future where food systems and nature thrive in harmony.
Despite agriculture’s expansion and intensification during the last 60 years, society fails to nourish everyone, notably, with healthy food, while replenishing natural resources and biodiversity for future generations. More worryingly, cultivated and wild biodiversity are continuously considered dispensable when they are central to producing what humans need and will need in a changing world. Seeing agriculture as a goal detached from nature and human values is dangerous and reinforces the downward spiral cycle of nature and human wellbeing degradation.
