This course introduces the concepts of biodiversity and ecosystem services and explores the crucial role of biodiversity in sustaining agrifood systems. It also analyses the global status of biodiversity, the drivers of its decline and the contribution of agrifood systems to biodiversity loss. Finally, the course explains why and how biodiversity should be mainstreamed across agrifood systems and outlines the key actions required to achieve this.
