In the context of the initiative “Boosting NBSAPs through Agroecology”, the Biovision Foundation — together with the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, WWF International, and supported by the Agroecology Coalition — convened this online dialogue.
Programme and outcome
Short peer inputs showcased how different countries approach food-systems transformation within NBSAP revisions.
Facilitated discussions further examined concrete policy entry points, governance structures, financing needs and implementation pathways, and contributed to identifying key challenges such as coordination gaps, financing constraints and data limitations, along with potential ways to address them. The organisers also presented upcoming support tools and opportunities for continued collaboration, setting the stage for next steps, including an in-person peer exchange and a forthcoming guidance tool for agroecology-informed NBSAP development. The event highlighted the value of a holistic food-systems perspective for biodiversity and strengthened relationships between government actors, experts and civil-society partners across regions. The outcome was a summary brief with key messages and advocacy tips for the integration of agroecology into NBSAPs.
