Biodiversity is not a luxury but a necessity.
In the shop we can have three kinds of tomatoes.
This one can withstand drought.
This tomato is highly resistant weeds.
And this tomato can only grow with lots of pesticides.
But if a disease or virus outbreaks,
this tomato can not survive,
and this tomato and this one can not either.
No tomatoes we can eat.
There are hundreds of families in the tomatoes,
but few species can survive in harsh conditions.
The different seeds should therefore be preserved an kept freely available for growers.
So we can continue to eat tomatoes even with changes in climate and nature.
Diversity and obtaining seed is vital.
For where currently one tomato extinct,
there is another who will survive.
