“Local varities and breeds of domesticated plants and animals are disappearingâ€? Âł Fewer varities are being cultivated around the world Wild food species and pollinators are under threat

The main drivers for this loss of biodiversity in food and agriculture are ยน Changes in land and water use management

Overharvesting

Pollution

Population growth

Urbanization

Deforestation

Climate change

The loss of biodiversity can lead to risks The Gambia to global “Massive losses of food wild foods have forced to turn to alsecurity communities ternatives, often Egypt “Rising temperatures will lead to northwards shifts in ranges of fish species, with impacts on fishery production ” ¹
