Increasing genetic erosion

Destroying genetic diversity

Description

Increasing genetic erosion involves implementing strategies to halt the loss of genetic diversity in crops, livestock, and wild species. Essential actions include conserving genetic resources through seed banks, in situ preservation, and promoting diverse agricultural practices. These measures aim to safeguard resilience against pests, diseases, and climate change, ensuring long-term food security and ecosystem stability. The strategy directly addresses the risks posed by monocultures, habitat destruction, and unsustainable land use.
