İNSAN SAĞLIĞI VE TARIMSAL BİYOÇEŞİTLİLİK ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ

Abstract

"Conservation of agricultural biodiversity is essential in terms of ensuring food security for future generations. Therefore, studies examining the relationship between human health and agricultural biodiversity are increasing recently. In this study, change of bioactive components in foods depending on the genotype has been highlighted. In addition to this, current studies examining the relationship between human health and agricultural biodiversity have been covered. According to the results, various studies have shown that the type and amount of bioactive components in foods can vary significantly depending on the genotype. Moreover, it has been reported that the conservation of biodiversity can play an important role in the prevention of some global-scale health problems. It has been also stated that the factors that threaten biodiversity cause negative effects on the environment and society by putting human and animal health at risk. There is a need for interdisciplinary research in order to examine the effects of biodiversity on human health in detail. The steps to be taken for the protection and improvement of biodiversity will be important investments in terms of both human and public health."
