25 March 2013: Bioversity International has published “Diversifying Diets: Using Agricultural Biodiversity to Improve Nutrition and Food Security,” which explores the current state of knowledge on the role of agricultural biodiversity in diet, nutrition and food security, with a focus on key research, implementation gaps and strategies for improving nutrition.
The book aims to bring food system-based approaches to address nutrition through scalable agricultural biodiversity interventions. It notes that local biodiversity can contribute to food security, nutrition and adaptation to climate change. Through twelve case studies and a series of lessons learned, the book demonstrates “diversity at work.” The publication is part of a series on “Issues in Agricultural Biodiversity” and is available for free online nine months after publication.
