"Agrifood solutions that restore ecosystems, improve soil health, reduce pollution and protect pollinators not only protect food production, but also deliver on biodiversity goals.”

The CBD Secretariat, the COP17 Presidency and FAO, brought together stakeholders to explore how sustainable agrifood systems can contribute to biodiversity conservation.
Discussions focused on national biodiversity commitments, biodiversity monitoring, pollinator protection and genetic resources for food and agriculture.
Together, we can turn commitments into action for nature and food security.
Experiences from #BurkinaFaso, #Colombia, #India, #Kenya, #Mexico & the #Philippines reveal how food #biodiversity can potentially be a lever for enabling healthy diets & transforming food systems while advancing biodiversity goals:
