Synopsis (short abstract) A universe of thousands of individual species and their genetic variability provide the biological foundation for the world’s food production. The genetic diversity of crops, farm animals, forest trees, aquatic organisms, micro-organisms and invertebrates – from bacteria invisible to the human eye that support agricultural soils to thundering yak that inhabit the highest elevations of the Himalayas – plays a critical role in achieving a world without hunger.
