As extreme weather events become more frequent, the resilience of our food systems depends on something often overlooked: biodiversity.
For decades, industrial agriculture has relied on uniform crops and standardized production. While efficient in stable conditions, these systems are increasingly vulnerable to droughts, floods, pests, and rising temperatures.
A more resilient future starts with diversity.
Across Europe, farmers are safeguarding traditional crop varieties that have adapted to local environments over generations. These seeds and the knowledge that accompanies them help strengthen food security, support biodiversity, and enable food systems to better withstand climate shocks.
Agroecology builds on this diversity, combining local knowledge, healthy ecosystems, and sustainable farming practices to create food systems that are fairer, more resilient, and better prepared for the challenges ahead.
Because protecting the right to food means building food systems that can endure.
By signing the European Citizens' Initiative Food is a Human Right for All, you can help advocate for policies that support agroecology, biodiversity, and resilient food systems across Europe.
