Policy brief: Agroecology: Connecting People, Land, Climate and Biodiversity – Recommendations on the Road to Belém.
The outcomes of the 2024 Rio Convention COPs underscore the necessity to enhance and utilize synergies among the Conventions. Agroecology is a promising approach that simultaneously contributes to the goals of the UNFCCC, CBD, and UNCCD. By adopting a systemic approach to food system transformation based on agroecological principles, countries can achieve multiple socio-ecological and economic benefits while fulfilling their commitments to the Rio Conventions.
This policy brief by the Agroecology Coalition, GIZ, Biovision, Cari and WWF presents six concrete recommendations to leverage partnerships and collaborative efforts to anchor agroecology within the Conventions.

Guidance Tool: Boosting Biodiversity Action through Agroecology
Integrating agroecology into National Biodiversity Strategies and Actions Plans (NBSAPs) is an opportunity to address biodiversity while simultaneously advancing other international targets, including those related to climate change, desertification, disaster risk reduction, combating hunger, reducing poverty, health and nutrition.
Discover our Guidance Tool for integrating agroecology and food systems into the development and implementation of NBSAPs in alignment with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).

Policy briefs: Agroecology Dialogue Series
The Agroecology Dialogue Series, an initiative of FAO and Biovision Foundation, organized in fall 2022 consisted of three thematic dialogues that aimed to identify entry points, opportunities, building blocks, innovative approaches and institutional frameworks with potential to support the upscale of agroecology.
As a result three policy briefs where published:
- Policy brief #1: The interface between agroecological and territorial approaches for food systems transformations
- Policy brief #2: Beyond the farm: Exploring the synergies between agroecology and conservation communities
- Policy brief #3: Agroecology as a response to agri-input scarcity
