The year 2022 ends with COP15 on the preservation of biodiversity, and despite the reassuring speeches, we suspect that the whole thing risks remaining a dead letter because of the difficult negotiations that marked the summit. If there is a subject as important, if not more than any other, it is biodiversity. Thanks to it, the pyramid of the living world is maintained as well as the food sustainability of humanity.
Yet many species continue to die out at a staggering rate (including bees, which play an essential role in pollination) in what is already being called the sixth mass extinction, and we persist in the monoculture which impoverishes soils without forgetting the use of pesticides, seeds and genetically modified organisms à la Monsanto-Bayer which carry risks for the environment as well as for human health.
Without a paradigm shift in agriculture and the conservation of animal and plant species, will we be able to avoid world hunger in the future?
