The goal of the agroBIODIVERSITY Science Plan and Implementation Strategy is to establish the scientific basis needed to address the trade-offs between food production, biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services, and human well-being in agricultural landscapes.
Three key research foci of the agroBIODIVERSITY Science Plan integrate the biological and social sciences:

  • To assess biodiversity in agricultural landscapes and the anthropogenic drivers of biodiversity change;
  • To identify the goods and services provided by agrobiodiversity at various levels of biological organisation, e.g. genes, species, communities, ecosystems and landscapes;
  • To evaluate the socioeconomic options for the sustainable use of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.
Implementation of the agroBIODIVERSITY Science Plan will involve collaboration of researchers in different disciplines to understand the environmental and social drivers of biodiversity change and how to use this information for policy-relevant strategies.
The Science Plan agroBIODIVERSITY is now available online. Follow the link www.diversitas-international.org to download the PDF.
