Report: $540bn-a-year loss threat for global agriculture
A new report from the Royal Botanic Gardens (RBG), a prominent research and education institution based in the UK, says that many factors, including deforestation, climate change and urbanisation, could cost global agriculture $540bn per year.
At the Millennium Seed Bank, an international botanical initiative coordinated by the RBG in the UK, scientists are spearheading an effort to better protect the world’s flora.
