Biodiversity and agriculture: A review of the evidence

While agri-food systems today provide enough food globally, they have been unable to provide the basis for sufficiently diverse and healthy diets, with a persistent underproduction of a range of nutritious foods like fruits, nuts, vegetables, beans and pulses. Meanwhile, agriculture is also the sing...
