Alternative Systems and Novel Crops
The world is over-reliant on a small number of major crops, and within those a limited number of varieties. This poses dangers as the lack of diversity increases the risks of serious outbreaks of disease, and populations are at the risk of under-nutrition if their diets rely on staple food crops and are not diverse. These topics are addressed here, as well as alternative land use systems for improved sustainability.
