Agrobiodiversity Index scores show agrobiodiversity is underutilized in national food systems [PDF]

Nature Food, 2021
The diversity of plants, animals and microorganisms that directly or indirectly support food and agriculture is critical to achieving healthy diets and agroecosystems. Here we present the Agrobiodiversity Index (based on 22 indicators), which provides a monitoring framework and informs food systems policy.
