Genetic Diversity

Food security is a global concern that needs an ecologically sound and sustainable solution. Biodiversity is our foremost food source. Biodiversity in agriculture (agrobiodiversity) helps us attain SDG No. 2: zero hunger. Support national and regional programs that enhance biodiversity in agriculture, such as the ASEAN Regionally Important Agro-ecological Heritage System (ARIAHS) by promoting healthy and diversified diets, growing backyard gardens, and integrating various farm practices, such as alternative pest management, crop rotation, and organic farming.
