biodiversity agriculture
This video is has to do with how important it is to use the heirloom crops in our environment. People in certain parts of the world have become too dependent on crops from other areas such as corn and many others. The use of the native plants help the biodiversity of the land in which we live in. The people in this video are starting to do something about it. As we can see that it is much cheaper for the people, better for their diets and helps the people of Kenya to become less dependent on outsourced crops. It also talks briefly about the potential problem in 2050 with the carrying capacity of resources for human populations. I agree that it is important to know how to become self sufficient when it comes to nutrition even though it is very hard to do so in a metropolitan setting but with the help of people like this in the video it could be possible.
