Along with the rapid disappearance of much of the world’s wild biodiversity over the past century, the diversity of domesticated plant and animal species has also been falling rapidly. This loss of species diversity and genetic diversity poses a serious threat to continuation of modern industrial agriculture, and perhaps much more importantly, to the free “services” that the world currently provides us — clean water, clean air, food, forestry products, a livable temperate climate, etc.<\/p>\n
