Pest and Disease Regulation

StarStarStarStar

Biodiversity fosters the presence of natural predators and competitors, reducing the incidence of pests and disease outbreaks in crops.

StarStarStarStar

Climate Regulation

StarStarStarStar

Agroecosystems rich in biodiversity can better sequester carbon and mitigate climate change, contributing to a more stable climate system for agriculture.

Genetic Diversity

StarStarStarStar

Genetic diversity ensures crop resilience to diseases and pests, reducing the need for chemical inputs and promoting sustainable crop production.

StarStarStarStar

Species Diversity

StarStarStarStar

Species diversity in agroecosystems enables the presence of beneficial organisms, which can naturally manage pests and improve soil fertility.

StarStarStarStar

Ecosystem Diversity

StarStarStarStar

Ecosystem diversity maintains a variety of habitats which support different types of agroecosystems, allowing for a more resilient agricultural landscape.

StarStarStarStar

Soil Health and Structure

StarStarStarStar

A diverse soil biota enhances soil structure and fertility, contributing to the sustainability and productivity of agroecosystems.

StarStarStarStar

Crop Pollination

StarStarStarStar

Diverse pollinator communities increase the efficiency of crop pollination, leading to higher yields and ensuring food security.

StarStarStarStar

Cultural and Aesthetic Values

StarStarStarStar

Biodiversity enriches the cultural and aesthetic values of agricultural landscapes, which can enhance human well-being and support ecotourism.
