Abstract

Food security has always been a pressing issue in both our country and across the world. Recently, our food security has become at risk, and one main cause of this is the loss of biodiversity in our ecosystems. Dr. Alison Power has worked extensively with the legume plants in Ethiopia, and she has seen firsthand how their farming techniques have preserved biodiversity. Current research methods focus on alternative agricultural methods in order to protect biodiversity and keep our food secure.

Biodiversity Loss in Our Ecosystems Results in Increased Food Insecurity

Food security has always been a pressing issue in both our country and across the world. Recently, our food security has become at risk, and one main cause of this is the loss of biodiversity in our ecosystems. Dr. Alison Power has worked extensively with the legume plants in Ethiopia, and she has seen firsthand how their farming techniques have preserved biodiversity. Current research methods focus on alternative agricultural methods in order to protect biodiversity and keep our food secure.
