Biodiversity is the variety of plant and animal life in the world or in a particular habitat.

The food we eat doesn't come from the grocery store – it comes from nature.

We share our world with millions of different species.

rich biodiversity will provide us with essentials like food, drinking water, clean air, medicines and so much more. Without biodiversity and all the services that they give us, we cannot survive.
Unfortunately, like so many other aspects of our planet, we're losing wildlife at an unprecedented rate. A big part of this loss is the pressure we're placing on natural systems to feed a growing world.

Almost every country in the world faces a serious challenge due to our eating habits. Whether the challenge obesity, poverty and disease are under threat. But the food we consume also threatens the climate, life on land and life below water. 

There are more than 5,000 crops used for food historically, we get more than 50 per cent of our plant-based calories from just three crops. We get around 75 per cent of our total calories from just 12 crops and five animals. This lack of diversity in our diet causes a lack of diversity in nature, and also makes us less resilient to diseases in our food supply.

An organization like WWF-panda a non-governmental organization is actively participating in supporting to bring a diverse variety of food.

What we can do to protect our biodiversity as an individual/consumer is by eating a wider variety of foods.
