Biodiversity is defined as the variability among living organisms from all sources, including land based and aquatic ecosystems, and the ecosystems of which they are part. The UN Convention on Biodiversity noted that there was a lack of baseline data regarding biodiversity.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funds research in the area of biodiversity to correct this shortcoming with two large projects studying biodiversity and environmental change and developing a baseline of biodiversity in intensively farmed land.
