Protecting biodiversity in production landscapes cover

Biodiversity is being lost at a rate that will have significant economic and social implications around the world if this deterioration is allowed to continue unabated. Much of this loss may be attributed to the need to produce more food supplies for an ever-increasing world population. This publication examines the impacts of agricultural supply chain activities on biodiversity and ecosystems and provides recommendations for the conservation policies that are needed to preserve this vital resource. It is intended to provide government policy-makers with guidelines for developing strategies for involving agricultural supply chains in the drive for biodiversity protection and the implementation of sustainable development.
