Dear sir

Thanks for sharing the information about the draft Guidance to provide practical recommendations for including agrifood systems and their stakeholders in the planning, implementation, and monitoring of NBSAPs, specifically focusing on Target 10 and other relevant targets. The biodiversity in the agri-food system is the basis for long and short-term sustainability. 

Unfortunately, most of the largest agri-food systems are highly specialized and lack the desired diversity. Hence it's very timely. The cropping and farming system must be designed to ensure adequate biodiversity in farming. The diversity in agri-food system also helps in ensuring the nutritional security at household levels. In most of the tribal areas in India, the agri-food systems are highly diverse.
