Agrobiodiversity and Agroecology: Inaugural Editorial

Dear colleagues, Welcome to the new journal “Agrobiodiversity & Agroecology”! Biodiversity is the diversity of life with millions of species, mostly unknown, that represent the immensity, and, at the same time, the complexity of life in ecosystems. This concept was popularized in 1992 with the Convention on Biological Diversity signed in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). For last 30 years, the regular Conferences of the Parties (COPs) underline the need to take a new look at the balance of the planet. Only during the COP13 in Mexico, and the COP14 in Egypt, the biodiversity was really considered important in/for the agricultural sector. We hope that the launching of this new journal ‘Agrobiodiversity & Agroecology’ (A&A) will help enhance the recognition of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes and the importance of biodiversity for agricultural systems
