Biodiversity Loss and Food Security Co-Relation : A Global and Local View
Biodiversity Loss and Food Security Co-Relation : A Global and Local View Introduction : Biodiversity , the variety of life forms in a given ecosystem, is essential for maintaining ecological balance and supporting food systems. It provides natural services such as pollination, pest control, soil fertility, and water purification, which are crucial for agricultural productivity and food security . However, biodiversity is declining globally due to factors like habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, and over exploitation of resources. This biodiversity loss has far-reaching consequences for food security , affecting both global and local communities and increasing vulnerabilities, especially in regions heavily reliant on biodiversity -based agricultural systems. 1. Global Effect of Biodiversity Loss on Food Security : Biodiversity loss can have a significant effect on global food security by decreasin...
