FAO celebrates the International Day of Potato 2024 with a special and an high-level event

沿着墨西哥丘陵地带崎岖不平的山路步行，可以看到两侧的农田稀疏生长着玉米，上面缠绕着菜豆的茎叶，土壤被硕大的南瓜叶覆盖，间或露出可食用的草本植物。这就是被称之为milpa的墨西哥传统间作农业粮食体系，家家户户种植多种多样的营养作物，与单一种植模式大相径庭。

The theme of this year’s International Day for Biodiversity is “Be Part of the Plan” - a rallying call to the public and diverse actors to support the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, endorsed in December 2022, and also known as The Biodiversity Plan. FAO is an integral part of this plan, as agrifood systems are a powerful channel for readily available and scalable solutions to conserving, restoring and sustainably using biodiversity.
