Platform for Agrobiodiversity Research

The Platform for Agrobiodiversity Research (PAR) seeks to improve the maintenance and use of agrobiodiversity by synthesizing and sharing existing knowledge, identifying areas where research is needed and stimulating the development of new and innovative research partnerships to address knowledge gaps.
PAR tries to promote research on agrobiodiversity loss and its consequences, on the beneficial roles of high levels of agrobiodiversity and on management practices that can enhance these functions to increase agricultural sustainability.
