[BCFSN] Global crops are growing more diverse, but just a few still dominate our food system

[Pamela Zevit]

"The research shows that despite an uptick in the diversity of crops grown across the planet over
the last 60 years, the largest share of our crops worldwide is now made up of just a few types of
plants. As an example, three of these particularly dominant crops-wheat, maize, soya, and rice-now
take up almost 50% of the farmland on earth."

The word Adamah is rooted in the Hebrew language (Adam - man, Adamah - earth) and is interpreted as
the "land from which man was made".  At its roots lies the recognition of our species intrinsic
connection to the earth and the inherent responsibility to protect and sustain it.
