Detailed explanation-1: -“Less biodiversity means that plants and animals are more vulnerable to pests and diseases. Compounded by our reliance on fewer and fewer species to feed ourselves, the increasing loss of biodiversity for food and agriculture puts food security and nutrition at risk, ‘’ added Graziano da Silva .
Detailed explanation-2: -Biodiversity is important to agriculture because it helps create healthy soils, pollinators, and pest control. When there is a high level of biodiversity in an area, the soil will be healthier and more nutrient-rich. This leads to better crops that contain more nutrients that are needed for human consumption.
Detailed explanation-3: -Greater biodiversity in ecosystems, species, and individuals leads to greater stability. For example, species with high genetic diversity and many populations that are adapted to a wide variety of conditions are more likely to be able to weather disturbances, disease, and climate change.
