Detailed explanation-1: -Biodiversity plays a crucial role in human nutrition through its influence on world food production, as it ensures the sustainable productivity of soils and provides the genetic resources for all crops, livestock, and marine species harvested for food.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biodiversity helps fight disease This means that every time a species goes extinct, we miss out on a potential new medicine. Second, biodiversity due to protected natural areas has been linked to lower instances of disease such as Lyme disease and malaria.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why is biodiversity important in fighting disease in food crops? It prevents one disease from wiping out an entire food crop. It prevents habitat loss of native species. It provides different foods for different populations.
Detailed explanation-4: -Biodiversity maintains the ecological balance. It helps in the healthy existence of humans and other species in the ecosystem. It helps in high productivity and human wellness. Biodiversity provides humans with valuable genetic diversity.
Detailed explanation-5: -Because of the complex relationships that exist among systems and species in an ecosystem, crop associated biodiversity plays an important role in the in situ conservation of plant genetic resources, while its management can contribute to the sustainable utilization of plant genetic resources.
