Agrobiodiversity

Agriculture and biodiversity form a mutually reinforcing system that underpins resilient food production and healthy ecosystems. This research area focuses on understanding and strengthening that relationship using diverse analytical approaches, including phenomics, remote sensing, genomics, and deep learning, to generate comprehensive insights into agrobiodiversity. By investigating natural gene pools and identifying new species, the field aims to address emerging agricultural challenges and expand the biological resources available for future crop and livestock improvement. Continuous monitoring of biodiversity supports the development of sustainable and climateresilient agricultural systems that reduce environmental impact while maintaining productivity. Collectively, this research contributes to longterm conservation efforts, global food security, and a reduced human footprint on ecosystems.
