    Abstract

    Recently there has been a renewed global call for diversity by motivated scientific communities, and concerned organizations, driven by health issues, climate change and development concerns. Diversity is not new. Didn’t we all learn the food pyramid of a balanced diet in school? Agricultural science has long taught the value of on-farm diversity to improve soil health; to manage outbreaks of pests and diseases; and to avoid livelihood destruction in extreme climates.
