Agricultural biodiversity is a precious legacy from past generations that we have a moral obligation to pass on, intact, to the next generations so that they can retain all options for dealing with the future. The magnificent photographs of Pablo Balbontín Arenas, reproduced in this book, give a better idea of genetic diversity that the lengthy texts of any encyclopedia. They provide an insight into the life and customs of farmers who foster, maintain and use genetic diversity in traditional agricultural systems, deploying local techniques and knowledge accumulated over many centuries. - La biodiversidad agrícola es un tesoro precioso heredado de las generaciones que nos precedieron y que tenemos la obligación moral de trasmitir en su integridad a las generaciones venideras para que puedan mantener sus opciones de cara al futuro. Las bellísimas fotos que Pablo Balbotín Arenas presenta en este libro ilustran mejor que una gran enciclopedia llena de palabras, la diversidad genética y la vida y costumbres de los agricultores que la desarrollan, la custodian y la usan en sistemas agrícolas tradicionales, a través de técnicas locales y conocimientos seculares.
