Descripción
FAO in collaboration with Bioversity International and the other parties is leading the Cross-Cutting Initiative on Biodiversity for Food and Nutrition, which has been established to measure, investigate and promote biodiversity and nutrition (FAO, 2008, 2010). Nutritional indicators for biodiversity are needed to address the diversity of plants, animals and other organisms used for food, covering the genetic resources within species, between species and provided by ecosystems. Two ind icators have been developed at these levels, addressing composition and consumption of underutilized, wild foods and foods below species level, and represent a simply count of foods that are considered "biodiverse".
