Conserving Agrobiodiversity = Survival of Life on Earth

Most vulnerable are the Poor.  Small Food Producers; most dependent eco systems and Biodiversity for Survival OBESITY MALNOU RISHED GNP/GDP WD Econ.Growth Population Growth Climate Change Rapid Industrialization of new economies Agricultural Land Agricultural Population Increase of Synthetics/ Technology Ecosystem destruction INEQUITY

Loss of Biodiversity (Source: FAO, Why?  Industrialization leading to Reductionist Science  Commercialization of food production; IPRs of PGRs  Consumerism, changing consumption patterns Why?  Industrialization leading to Reductionist Science  Commercialization of food production; IPRs of PGRs  Consumerism, changing consumption patterns  75% of Plant genetic diversity in Agriculture lost since 1900s  90% of Crop varieties lost from farmers’ fields  Half of domestic animal breeds gone  Fishing grounds overfished,  Deforestation from agricultural expansion, urbanization and natural disasters  Only 12 plants and 5 animal species generate 75% of the world’s food.
