Boosting NBSAPs through agroecology - launch of a new Guidance Tool

WWF, BIOVISION, Global Alliance for the Future of Food, Agroecology Coalition & Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT present the following event:

This event will feature discussions with key countries on boosting NBSAPs through agroecology. The session will begin with a 15-minute presentation of a new Guidance Tool, that offers a detailed guide for mainstreaming agroecological thinking into the NBSAP mission, vision, biodiversity assessment, and formulation process and introduces intervention areas to support a food system transition.

This introduction will set the stage for a 35-minute conversation around experiences and challenges of countries in the development of their NBSAPs and the role and experiences of other food systems actors in advancing biodiversity and agroecology. We aim to feature delegates from at least two governments, civil society and farmers’ organisation, from different parts of the world. The panel will highlight the importance of transforming food systems through agroecology to reverse biodiversity loss, halt climate change, and ensure sufficient healthy and nutritious food for all. The speakers from key countries will explain why a food systems transformation approach needs to be included in the new GBF and will suggest ways to integrate food systems into NBSAPs using agroecology as a guiding thread.

Following the discussion, a 10-minute Q&A session will allow participants to engage directly with the panelists, and further explore the topics discussed.

Camila Cammaert, WWF Colombia
Anna Lappé, Global Alliance for the Future of Food
John Garcia, Biovision
Mauricio Cabrera, Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible
Robin Goffaux, delegate -governments of France
