Grow a local plant from seed – it can be a herb, a flower or something else. Share the fruits of your labour with somebody and give them this challenge.
Why it's important
Biodiversity of plants, animals and soil microorganisms is essential to provide for the required balance of factors that makes agroecosystems more resilient to climate change. The more agroecosystems lack biodiversity, the more multi-functional groups are removed, making them unable to respond to stress.
Stability and sustainability are increased through the mutually beneficial functions found in nature through biodiversity, with beneficial impacts on adaptation and mitigation to climate change, such as crop diversification techniques evolved by traditional farmers, which represent an important resilience strategy.
