Agrobiodiversity Management for Food Security, A Critical Review
Biodiversity refers to all living things and the interactions between them: a vast array of organisms with an almost infi nite complexity of relationships. Agricultural biodiversity, that is, ‘agrobiodiversity’, is an exceptionally important subset of biodiversity. Agrobio- diversity has...

| description |
Biodiversity refers to all living things and the
interactions between them: a vast array of
organisms with an almost infi nite complexity
of relationships. Agricultural biodiversity,
that is, ‘agrobiodiversity’, is an exceptionally
important subset of biodiversity. Agrobio-
diversity has been defi ned by Qualset et al.
(1995) as including all crops and livestock
and their wild relatives, and all interacting
species of pollinators, symbionts, pests, para-
sites, predators and competitors. This defi n-
ition formed the foundation for our fi rst book
Agrobiodiversity: Characterization, Utilization
and Management (Wood and Lenné, 1999) and
remains an important basis for this second
book, Agrobiodiversity Management for Food
Security: a Critical Review.
Agrobiodiversity through agriculture,
that is, the management of the interactions
between crops and domestic animals and
their associated biodiversity and the environ-
ment, provides most of our food with less
than 5% coming from the wild (Prescot -Allen
and Prescot -Allen, 1986 [for the USA]; Wood
and Lenné, 1999). Most of our food is also
derived directly or indirectly from plants. It
has been estimated that more than 80% of our
calories and edible dry weight comes from
crop plants (Evans, 2003). |
