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!
