Replantando la diversidad biológica agrícola en el CDB

The document highlights the stark contrast between the high diversity of peasant food networks and the narrow base of industrial agriculture, while criticizing the CBD for marginalizing agricultural biodiversity. It calls for the Global Biodiversity Framework to recognize agriculture both as a driver of environmental destruction and as a potential solution through small-scale peasant farming.

• There is a significant disparity in crop diversity between peasant food networks, which have improved 7,000 domesticated plant species and maintained 50,000 to 60,000 wild relatives, and the agro-industrial chain, which relies on only 137 species, with 16 species accounting for 86% of global food production.
• Agricultural biodiversity has been increasingly ignored within the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) over time, evidenced by the failure to implement policies to meet the Aichi Biodiversity Targets.
• While industrial large-scale agriculture and intensive livestock production are primary drivers of ecosystem destruction and climate change, small-scale peasant agriculture serves as a solution that nurtures and safeguards agricultural biodiversity.
