  LITERATURE REVIEW TITLE -The Importance of Biodiversity to Food and Agricultural Systems across the Globe AUTHOR - By Gurdev S. Khush JOURNAL - WORLD FOOD PRIZE ORGANIZATION 2019 INFERENCES - All domesticated crops and animals result from management of biodiversity, which is constantly responding to new challenges to maintain and increase productivity under constantly varying conditions and population pressures.

  TITLE - THESTATE OF THE WORLD’s BIODIVERSITY FOR FOOD AND AGRICULTURE AUTHORS - J. Bélanger & D. Pilling JOURNAL - FAO. 2019 INFERENCES - 1) addresses the sustainable use, development and conservation of BFA worldwide. BFA is taken to include the diversity of animals, plants and micro-organisms at the genetic, species and ecosystem levels that sustain structures, functions and processes in and around production systems and provide food and non-food agricultural products. 2) drivers of change affecting BFA

  TITLE - Pesticides,environment, and food safety AUTHORS - Fernando P. Carvalho JOURNAL - FOOD AND ENERGY SECURITY, 2017 INFERENCES -Emerging alternative paths in food production, such as development of GMO varieties and their release for international agriculture without application of the precautionary principle and satisfactory risk assessment, must be avoided. This issue deserves urgent international discussion. An agreement should be reached based on science and on ethical principles for ensuring food security and food safety. Moreover, alternative paths for food production should not repeat the mistakes of pesticide applications and must succeed in ensuring food safety and food security.

  TITLE - Biodiversityand Nutrition: A Common Path toward Global Food Security and Sustainable Development AUTHOR - Álvaro Toledo JOURNAL - Journal of Food Composition and Analysis 1,2006 INFERENCES - 1) research is needed to increase the evidence base by filling our knowledge gaps with better inventories and more data on composition and consumption 2) introducing more compositional data on biodiversity in national food composition databases and tables; developing and using dietary assessment instruments that capture food intake at the species and variety/breed level

  TITLE - BIODIVERSITYFOR FOOD AND AGRICULTURE JOURNAL - GREEN FACTS, 2019 INFERENCES - Effective monitoring requires systematic and long-term commitment. The roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders need to be clearly defined. Where they do not currently exist, it may be necessary to establish national bodies to organize or oversee monitoring activities. The sustainable management of BFA, in particular associated biodiversity, is hindered by numerous knowledge gaps often constrained by a lack of coordination between research institutions or between researchers working in different disciplines or in different sectors
