Agricultural biodiversity

Agricultural biodiversity means the variety of plants, animals and other living things used in farming, such as crops and livestock, that can help us to produce food and other goods. All of these things live in our fields, farms and gardens, and come in lots of different shapes, colours, sizes and textures. Agricultural biodiversity helps farmers in lots of ways, for example by providing different types of plants that can survive in different types of soils, tolerate different types of weather, and help protect against pests and diseases. It can also help farmers produce varied and nutritious products, create really healthy soils, conserve water, store carbon and provide habitats for animals. We should take care of our agricultural biodiversity because it helps us to have healthy and productive farms that can provide us with our food.
