The loss of #biodiversity makes news headlines around the world.

🍏The food we eat depends on it.
🌬️The air we breathe depends on it.
💧The water we drink depends on it.

Life as we know it wouldn’t exist.

This illustrates how vital it is to understand the complex problems our current food system face. This is the basis of our MSc.

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

Without #biodiversity, we wouldn’t have the food we eat today! But it's disappearing before our eyes.

New @IPBES report states that one million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction!
