    Take a look at some of the responses we've had to this article.

      Nice to hear good news. Agricultural biodiversity is a great topic and it can literally save the world.

      Dear Ruben,

      Hopefully it can contribute strongly!
      I saw your web site (http://www.rubenpalacio.com/) which looks great.
      Send us information related to AGRO-Biodiversity in Colombia and the Tropics if you can and this is of interest to you, we are interested to learn and share

      With regards to your definition of Biodiversity (http://www.rubenpalacio.com/biodiversity/what-is-biodiversity-to-me/), though again we are looking only into Agrrobiodiversity, I would belong to the ones that define diversity at genetic, species and ecosystem level.

      All good things and many thanks,
      Paul
