The 49th edition of the Agriculture for Development of the Tropical Agriculture Association International (TAA International) has published a special issue on Biodiversity and Food Systems. This edition is guest-edited by Dr. Elizabeth Warham.

This comprehensive collection offers valuable insights for stakeholders aiming to integrate biodiversity considerations into food system transformations.

  • Advancing agroforestry with smallholders
  • Farmer research networks for co-learning and innovation
  • In-situ and ex-situ conservation to safeguard wild edible plant species
  • Ethnobotany to investigate crop diversity and cultural food systems
  • Merits of One Health
  • Leveraging investments from the private sector
