Details of Agricultural biodiversity
|
Agricultural biodiversity, sometimes called ‘agrobiodiversity' encompasses the variety and variability of animals, plants and micro-organisms which are necessary to sustain key functions of the agro-ecosystem, its structure and processes for, and in support of, food production and food security.
Another definition: The variety and variability of animal, plant and microbial organisms on earth that are important to food and agriculture. It is an important sub-set of biodiversity as it is the basis of food security. It includes all the species used directly or indirectly for food and agriculture: human nutrition, feed for domestic animals, and the provision of essential raw materials and services such as fibre, fertiliser, fuel and pharmaceuticals. It covers, inter alia, crop varieties, including forage and fodder plants and trees, animal breeds, including fish, molluscs, bird species and insects, as well as fungi, yeasts and micro-organisms such as algae and diverse bacteria.
