Agrobiodiversity Index Report 2019: risk and resilience

The newly launched Agrobiodiversity Index report, compiled by Biodiversity International, analyses the way in which countries are conserving and using their agricultural biodiversity. The Index examines the ways that countries are responding to the risks that low agricultural biodiversity, or agrobiodiversity, pose to food and agriculture, namely malnutrition, poverty, climate change and variability, land degradation, pests and diseases and biodiversity loss.
