Mainstreaming biodiversity in agrifood systems

UN Common Approach to Biodiversity - webinar series:
The United Nations Common Approach to Biodiversity (Common Approach) webinar series continued on Tuesday, 4 June 2024, with the second webinar titled “Mainstreaming Biodiversity in Agrifood Systems”. Hosted by the United Nations Environment Management Group (EMG), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), this interactive webinar convened experts at global and national levels to present the importance of mainstreaming biodiversity across agrifood sectors. The webinar provided the opportunity to highlight the role the agrifood sectors play in implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), and to identify opportunities to guarantee the participation of all actors across agrifood sectors in its implementation. In addition, the webinar offered a platform to promote awareness and implementation of the Common Approach in the UN system and foster interagency collaboration. The presenters were able to share best practices, lessons learned, and cases of concrete actions that integrate biodiversity considerations in agrifood sectors.
