Thousands of people joined Biodiversity and our partners to mark the International Year of Biodiversity at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome. The event took place over four days and focused on the role of agricultural biodiversity and its crucial role for human survival.  More than 80 speakers took part, and in addition to the discussions, there was a concert, film competition, city garden, interactive exhibition and even a talking tree.
