La Settimana della Biodiversità
20-23 May 2010
More than 80 speakers from Italy and around the world, a film competition, an interactive exhibition and activities for children came together to celebrate La Settimana della Biodiversità. Leading figures from the worlds of science and culture shared their ideas about how to create a healthier planet and protect the health of its inhabitants, while respecting local cultures and traditions.
To mark the occasion of the United Nations International Year of Biodiversity, Bioversity International – in collaboration with the Comune di Roma – celebrated La Settimana della Biodiversità to highlight the need to enhance the role of biodiversity in agriculture, one of the most precious resources available to humankind. In fact, the diversity of crops and livestock plays a very important role not only in providing nutritional security but also in economic development, history, culture and the struggle against climate change for everyone on the planet.
We are very grateful to the following sponsors for their generous support of La Settimana della Biodiversità.
