The world’s population relies primarily on agricultural production for sustenance.
As the world’s population grows, the expansion of populated areas and the increase in human activities that depend on natural resources (including agriculture) increase the pressure on our environment and biodiversity.
Impossible to ignore, the increased use of new land for cultivation leads to decreased plant diversity – crucial for foraging bees, and a reduction of wetlands, wildlands and recreation areas that are vital to the preservation of biodiversity.
