E-book Manual on Biodiversity Action Plan for Chilli Production
Diverse cultivation systems like agroforestry, crop rotation and intercropping systems support biodiversity and, in the past, made agriculture a main factor in conserving it. The sustainable agriculture, however, was exchanged in many places of the world by a land use model that segregates agricultural production from areas managed for biodiversity conservation. Thus, favoring monocultures and high intensive production systems depending heavily on chemical inputs. These systems altered agriculture into one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss, globally. Activities such as tillage, drainage, grazing and extensive usage of pesticides and fertilisers have significant implications for wild flora and fauna (above- and belowground), which is essential for plant growth and resilience. Neglecting the importance of biodiversity for farming, the dependency of these systems on external inputs rises continually.
