Losing diversity in our diets is directly linked to health risk factors, such as diabetes, obesity, and malnutrition. Developing and encouraging agroecological farming techniques can help make soils more productive, minimize the use of agrochemicals and pollution, and enhance crop diversity. This in turn can make agriculture more resilient.
Marieta Sakalian, a food systems and biodiversity expert with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
- By 2050, our planet will need to feed close to 10 billion people.
- Over the last 100 years, more than 90% of crop varieties have disappeared.
- Nine plant species account for 66% of total crop production, despite the fact that there are at least 30,000 edible plants.
