Our food and agriculture systems today rely too heavily on a very fewplant species, a handful of animal species and marine species. Biodiversityis indispensable to food and nutrition security, and to ecosystem sustainability.Traditional resilient crop species are important to diversify our foodsystems for a healthy life. Globally, more than 820 million people do nothave enough to eat and food demand is forecast to increase by 2050. Withabout 80% of cultivated land in the world, dryland farming plays an importantrole in global food security. FAO assessed the drylands to cover morethan 6 billion hectares, including 1 billion in agro-sylvo-pastoral systemsin Africa. Its blueprint for large-scale land restoration based on promotingbiological diversity for small-scale farming delivers multiple ecological andsocio-economic benefits. It is time for scientific expertise to embrace localknowledge for scaling-up sustainable food and agriculture.
