The world relies on very few crop and animal species for
agriculture and to supply its food needs. In recent decades, there
has been increased appreciation of the risk this implies for food
security and quality, especially in times of environmental change.
As a result, agricultural biodiversity has moved to the top of
research and policy agendas. This Handbook presents a comprehensive
overview of our current knowledge of agricultural biodiversity in a
series of specially commissioned chapters. It draws on multiple
disciplines including plant and animal genetics, ecology, crop and
animal science, food studies and nutrition, as well as social
science subjects which explore the socio-economic, cultural,
institutional, legal and policy aspects of agricultural
biodiversity. It focuses not only on the core requirements to
deliver a sustainable agriculture and food supply, but also
highlights the additional ecosystem services provided by a diverse
and resilient agricultural landscape and farming practices. The
book provides an indispensable reference textbook for a wide range
of courses in agriculture, ecology, biodiversity conservation and
environmental studies.
