The document discusses the historical and current relationships between agriculture and wild biodiversity. It notes several threats agriculture poses to biodiversity, including land conversion, landscape and water system changes, pollution, and wildlife loss. Specific threats covered are habitat loss, fragmentation, pollution from pesticides and fertilizers, overexploitation of wild species, impacts from invasive species and livestock diseases, and effects of climate change. The document emphasizes that agriculture covers half of earth's habitable land and addresses how to resolve problems at the agriculture-biodiversity interface going forward.
