Fruit
We often think of biodiversity in terms of animals, but let’s not forget diversity of plants, and especially food. If we celebrate and embrace food diversity, such as local varieties of fruits, vegetables and grains, we are supporting biodiversity with all its ecological benefits. One person who is taking this challenge to heart is Pablo Salvatierra, who experimented with a fruitarian diet when he was a 23-year-old Argentinian student struggling with a severe case of a skin disease called psoriasis. It seemed to help and now he is travelling the world sampling diverse fruits, more than 300 and counting.
