Abstract
- Agrobiodiversity, or biodiversity for food and agriculture, plays a major role in the sustainability of food production. As stated by FAO 2019, agrobiodiversity can provide food production systems and society with a variety of services as ecosystem services, crops resilience to threats, sustainable intensification, livelihoods, food security and nutrition. The official definition of the concept has been given by CBD 2000 as "a broad term that includes all components of biological diversity of relevance to food and agriculture, and all components of biological diversity that constitute the agroecosystem: the variety and variability of animals, plants and micro-organisms, at the genetic, species and ecosystem levels, which are necessary to sustain key functions of the agro-ecosystem, its structure and processes". Thus, agrobiodiversity is primarily based on species and their function in agroecosystems.
