Agricultural biodiversity (agrobiodiversity) as an important component of biodiversity provides a number of benefits associated with production and productivity, agro-ecosystem function, and human well-being. At the same time it is well known that the climate change will be the main driver of loss of biodiversity in general and of agrobiodiversity in particular. This impact will be different for the different components of agricultural biodiversity. Thus the undertaking predictive modelling of impact of possible losses and distribution of agricultural biodiversity most important to food security on agriculture and rural development will significantly contribute to address food security needs in face of global warming.
