Agrobiodiversity Management for Food Security: a Critical Review

Jillian Lenne (Consultant in Agricultural Research and Development, UK and Editor in Chief, Field Crops Research),David Wood (Biodiversity Specialist, Fyvie, UK)

Agrobiodiversity provides most of our food through our interaction with crops and domestic animals. Future global food security is firmly anchored in sound, science-based management of agrobiodiversity. This book presents key concepts of agrobiodiversity management, critically reviewing important current and emerging issues including agricultural development, crop introduction, practical diversity in farming systems, impact of modern crop varieties and GM crops, conservation, climate change, food sovereignty and policies. It also addresses claims and misinformation in the subject based on sound scientific principles.
