30.10.2024
COP16, Cali (Colombia)

In this press conference, a global consortium of food system actors, composed by the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, Biovision, WWF, Alliance Bioversity International – CIAT, and the Agroecology Coalition, presented their new Guidance Tool „Boosting biodiversity action through agroecology“.

About

The Guidance Tool supports countries in integrating agroecological principles and interventions into their respective National Biodiversity Strategies and Actions Plans. While industrial agriculture and global food systems are a major driver of biodiversity loss, agroecology offers a promising pathway to fight against the biodiversity crisis through measures such as transitioning to ecological farming practices, nurturing diversity of seeds or reducing the use of polluting synthetic inputs.
