Discuss the importance of biodiversity in providing plant and animal food.
Biodiversity provides high variety of food: crops, livestock, forestry, and fish, which are important food source of human species. A wide range of species provides many thousands of food products, such as, fruits, vegetables, nuts, meat, and food additives in form of food colourings, flavourings and preseratives, through agriculture and from the harvest of natural populations.
For all humans, biodiversity is first a resource for daily life. Such 'crop diversity' is also called agrobiodiversity.
Most people see biodiversity as a reservoir of resources to be drawn upon for the manufacture of food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products. Thus resource shortages may be related to the erosion of the biodiversity.

- FOOD : crops, livestock, forestry, and fish
