Did you know that *biodiversity is essential for food security and nutrition*? Without it, our agrifood systems wouldn’t exist! Here’s why: 🔹 Genetic diversity in crops and livestock breeds forms the foundation of our diets. 🔹 Wild species contribute to the global food supply and ecosystem balance. 🔹 Ecosystems provide essential services like pollination, soil fertility, and water regulation. 🔹 3.83 billion people depend on agrifood systems for their livelihoods—biodiversity keeps these systems running! 🚨 But biodiversity is under threat! Protecting it means safeguarding our food, our people, and our future. 💚 Every action counts. Let’s work together to preserve biodiversity!
