Mainstreaming Biodiversity for improved Food security and better Nutrition is the need of the hour. The reality is there are many regions which are rich in Biodiversity in Agriculture and Forestry but highly poor in nutrition.

The biggest challenge is look at the successful case studies where these too are linked for mutual benefit.

I have sited few such studies below

Governments should make nutrition as their priority over industry ,mono cropping systems and chemical input agriculture. Safety and diversity in diets are key to nutrition.
