The biodiversity plays a key role in the development and the upholding of the agrarian practices all over the world. This biodiversity is related to the grown species and varieties, but also to the ecosystems where those farmings are established, starting with the soil. The recent evolution of those practices shows a considerable decrease of the structure and of the functioning of this biodiversity. In the short and medium terms, this is a threat for the food production capacities. In order to ensure a sustainable agriculture, Etienne Hainzelin points out the necessity to develop agrarian practices, which are more intense from an ecological point of view.
