Biodiversity: Past and Present Wealth

One of the strategies in the past against the cyclical return of winter shortages has been crop diversification.

By making the growth phase as long as possible, they could reduce the length of periods when fresh produce is lacking, which usually occurs during the coldest winter months.

The ability to exploit natural diversity among plants has been made possible by human agronomic techniques, which rightly become part of the food crop and lead to a rich variety that contributes to the uniqueness of gastronomy today.

In the old cookbooks there are extensive descriptions of varieties of pears, apples, olives, legumes and cereals, which ripen at different times of the agricultural year.  They also indicate the best way to use them in cooking.

Today’s dominant strategy is towards uniformity and  the highest possible yield. This leads to a decrease in biodiversity, which has been developed over the centuries.
