Agromedia Bil. 76 2024 Special Edition RAC 2 - Agrobiodiversity Management oleh Penulis MARDI

Agrobiodiversity management plays a pivotal role in ensuring the resilience and sustainability of our agricultural systems. With a rich tapestry of biodiversity that spans from the lush rainforests to the fertile plains, Malaysia is home to a diverse array of crops, flora and fauna that contributes to the country’s food and nutrition security, cultural heritage and economic prosperity. However, rapid urbanisation, deforestation and climate change poses significant threats to this biodiversity, jeopardising the delicate balance upon which our agricultural systems depend. But amidst these challenges lies a beacon of hope – a growing recognition of the importance of agrobiodiversity management in safeguarding our natural resources and securing our future. From innovative farming practices to cutting edge technologies, Malaysia is at the forefront of efforts to promote sustainable agriculture and biodiversity conservation.
