Abstract
Biodiversity conservation in agroecosystems is essential for maintaining ecosystem health, enhancing resilience, and promoting sustainable food production. This paper examines the importance of biodiversity in supporting ecosystem services, such as pollination, pest control, and soil fertility. It discusses agroecological practices that promote biodiversity, including crop diversification, habitat restoration, and integrated landscape management, highlighting their contributions to ecological balance and agricultural productivity.
