Climate resilience

Agrobiodiversity helps shift agriculture from degradation toward regeneration by restoring soils and landscapes. Growing a wider mix of crops, trees, and forages increases soil organic carbon, improves structure, and strengthens nutrient cycling. Deep-rooted species, cover crops, and agroforestry reduce erosion, boost infiltration, and build fertility over time. At landscape scales, community seed banks, on-farm conservation, and participatory planning tailor restoration to local ecology and land-use history, ensuring durable, equitable recovery.
