Title: Biodiversity adds value.
Crop biodiversity has key role to play in helping farmers improve their livelihoods while protecting the environment and their health. This is emerging from the latest rice research on the benefits of planting traditional rice varieties either alongside or in place of the modern, high-yielding varieties normally grown today by most of the world's 200 million rice farmers. Many of these traditional varieties command a higher price because of their popularity with consumers but are rarely grown because of their low yields, susceptibility to disease or other drawbacks.
