Agricultural diversity
Agricultural diversity means crop diversity, or the number of different crops produced on farms. It is important to strengthen crop diversity, as a diverse agricultural environment enhances soil health, offers various habitats for organisms and supports climate change adaptation, i.e. increases agricultural resilience.
