| Résumé : |
Systematics and biodiversity are the threads that form and hold the fabric of agriculture together. Agricultural development is increasingly dependent on the interactions and knowledge base of systematics and biological diversity. Biodiversity itself is the grist of the agricultural mill - the germplasm. Systematics is the explorer, describer, organizer and predictor of biological diversity. Agricultural is a primary user of the products of the interactions between biodiversity and systematics. This chapter examines the history of this interaction and shows how current and future practices in agriculture increasingly require more detailed knowledge of the world's biota. This chapter also focuses on a series of examples demonstrating the importance of systematics and biodiversity in agriculture and suggests a solution to a serious dilemma that faces agriculture today and in the future. |
