AI Article Synopsis

  • Agrobiodiversity is crucial for agri-food production, yet there's a global concern over the loss of food-related species and their genetic diversity.
  • Many sustainable development strategies recognize the importance of agrobiodiversity for food security, justice, and overall well-being.
  • The contribution discusses how cities are increasingly incorporating agricultural biodiversity into their urban planning and open space designs.

Article Abstract

Agrobiodiversity represents a system of biological organisms that contribute to agri-food production. In a context marked by a significant loss of food-relevant species and a reduction in their genetic diversity, the adoption of strategies to preserve and enhance the diversity of genetic resources that support and complement agricultural production has become a global challenge. Many sustainable development strategies outlined in recent years directly and indirectly attribute a crucial role to agrobiodiversity in meeting food needs, ensuring food system security, promoting food justice, and enhancing well-being in modern living environments. This contribution aims to analyze the process of knowledge and awareness that has led many cities to plan their urban development by investing in the agricultural matrix and to address the design of open spaces with agricultural biodiversity.
