Welcome toFood for Biodiversity!
Did you know: ... that 1000 times more species are dying from human influences than would be the case naturally?
Did you know: ... that the annual loss of ecosystem services is estimated at USD 6 trillion? It surpasses the gross domestic product of all countries except the USA and China!
Did you know: ... that 70% of the world's economically most important crops benefit from pollinators?
Around one million animal and plant species worldwide are facing significant challenges — a clear signal of how critical it is to protect our planet’s biodiversity. In Germany, too, it’s evident that more action is needed to safeguard nature. Instead of focusing solely on the challenges, we choose to highlight the opportunities: protecting biodiversity gives us the chance to create a sustainable future for generations to come.
To turn this vision into reality, leading representatives from standards organizations, food companies, agriculture, NGOs, and scientific institutions in Germany came together in March 2021 to establish the association “Food for Biodiversity – Biodiversity in the Food Sector.” Together, we are committed to integrating biodiversity into food production and driving positive change.
