Crop biodiversity: use it or lose it

 

The lack of variety and increasing uniformity of crops may render food systems unsustainable. FAO estimates 75% of crop diversity was lost between 1900 and 2000 and the State of the World’s Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, predicts that as much as 22 percent of the wild relatives of important food crops will disappear by 2055 because of a changing climate. 

It’s time to Act. 

 

DONATION FOR A RESILIENT NETWORK!

In today's European panorama the voice and skills of movements for agroecological transition are not heard.  We are THE European network that brings together actors who are so weak, but who have a strong Vision (and seeds) for the agroecological transition and the World of tomorrow. Contribute to keep hope and plant species alive.

Our mission is to strengthen and enlarge the European network of organizations, associations, seed savers, seed networks that are involved in cultivated biodiversity.

Sharing practices, knowledge and news.. If you want to be part of this conversation as a Member and stay up to date write to info@liberatediversity.org and you will be contacted by our Secretariat!

Collaborate with ECLLD

We like each other, our activities are similar or we can help you cover certain tasks, but we can’t live under the same roof.

So if you like we can design something together but not as Members, but with collaborations or projects!

Find out about the possibility of carrying out projects or stays in collaboration with ECLLD, and send us your proposals and concerns. You can consult our topics in the publications section.
