Q How do traditional food production practices contribute to a reduction in biodiversity?

a
Air, land, and water are used to produce food, so food that is thrown away is a waste of those original resources.

Livestock raised for meat are not as diverse as wild species.

c. Land that is converted to agriculture is no longer a suitable habitat for native species. Traditional food production practices often involve clearing land for agriculture, which can lead to the destruction of natural habitats and a reduction in biodiversity. This can also lead to the displacement of native species and the introduction of non-native species, which can further disrupt the ecosystem.
