Why biodiversity is vanishing in agriculture? Fundamentally, there are two types of agriculture in the world, monoculture and polyculture. 1. Monoculture (chemical input based, anti-biodiversity agriculture) intentionally eliminate biodiversity from agricultural fields, to destroy soil health and plant health, to maximise the use of chemical inputs (hybrid seed, fertiliser, pesticides and machine) and to maximise the profit of the input manufacturing industries. 2. Polyculture (traditional, biodiversity based agriculture) improves soil health, plant health, animal health, human health, and environment health (one health). FAO and IFAD should support research and development on polyculture, to improve productivity and profitability in polyculture.

To survive the plant with Climate change we have a few simple solutions that small farmers can adopt easily and cheaply, Using the combination of Microelement and Amino Acid gives a great solution and assists the crop to resist drought and get a good yield. I dome it in Uganda with Maize we got 5.6 T/H and 3 T/H for cotton seeds. contact for more information.

Biodiversity is our best ally against climate change. Safeguarding it is vital for a sustainable future.

Indian Rural people need to catch up in this area. Long way to go. Opportunity for IFAD.

Clearly, the first arrow points the wrong way ??. Biodiversity loss is up, biodiversity down…

Would you assist on the uses of indigenous crops aganist the climatic change resilience to rural areas in Tanzania infact there is many advantages of ulitization of well grown and adopted indigenous diverse crops to mitigate the challenges climatic change??
