Biocultural Diversity and its Value for the Future of Food
Av: Carole L Crumley
<p>In landscapes of food-feed-fiber-fuel production the loss of biodiversity is accelerating. To ensure a sustainable food supply into an uncertain future, knowledge of management practices that maintain and augment biodiversity must be safeguarded. An important way to ensure biodiversity is to protect local knowledge in places where local and regional smallholder practices have increased species diversity. Through the methods of historical ecology, the concept of biocultural diversity enables the study of species diversity together with the diversity of the practices that have maintained them over the long term.</p>
