    This document contains a student's metacognitive reading report on an article about the importance of biodiversity. [1] The student found the concepts of "biodiverse multi-functional landscapes" and different agricultural approaches like "agro-ecological" and "conservation agriculture" to be difficult. [2] The student gained new insights that biodiversity loss can result from expanding agricultural land for food security and that women play an important role in household food security. [3] The student questions how different agricultural approaches increase climate resilience and whether biodiversity can be fully recovered once lost.

    Food security: Why is biodiversity important?


    Topic/Lesson

    1. Difficult Concepts (What concepts did you find difficult to understand?)


    i. The concept of ‘biodiverse multi-functional landscapes.’
    ii. The different approaches mentioned but not specified, such as ‘agro-
    ecological,’ ‘sustainable agriculture,’ and ‘conservation agriculture.’

    2. Insights (What new insights or learnings did you gain in discussion/ activity?)

    i. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought


    The only reason for loss of biodiversity is urbanization or the transformation of
    different lands to subdivision.

    However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize


    Loss of biodiversity could be a result of expansion of agricultural land too. The
    continuous increase of the world population and the goal for everyone’s
    food security is one of the roots of biodiversity loss. It is the biodiversity that
    suffer, or in other words, the one that we ‘trade off' to attain food security.

    ii. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought


    That men are much more of a contributor in food security than women.

    However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize


    That statistical data proves otherwise. However, we tend to continue with the
    norm that it is men who can do more compared to women, when it comes to
    ensuring food security. According to the article, women are pertained to as
    the ‘guardians of household food security’ – for when they have access to
    land, they usually use it for production of food.

    iii. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought


    Biodiversity is helpful only in food consumption of humans.

    However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize


    That biodiversity is an important aspect of the planet and are much needed
    for the survival of human beings not only for food consumption but also for
    primary health care. It is stated in the article that according to the World
    Health Organization (WHO), 80% of the population in many developing
    countries rely on biodiversity for primary health care.

    iv. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought


    Access to food does not just end by being able to grow and collect food.

    However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize


    The importance of one’s ability to purchase food is a big factor to attain food
    security. One example given in the article is the situation of India, which is
    considered ‘self-sufficient’ in agriculture, but many in their population
    experiences food insecurity due to poverty. Meanwhile, Singapore and
    Hongkong have no agricultural base but their population is considered food
    secure because they have the ability to purchase.

    3. Questions (What questions would you want answers for? Or vague areas you
    want more explanations about?
    i. I want to know more about the different approaches with regards to
    increasing the resilience of agriculture to climate change.
    ii. Is our chance of saving the biodiversity big enough for us to completely
    recover from its loss?
