Missing the Mark? Global Biodiversity Targets Risk Failure Without Agroecology and Agricultural Biodiversity
08 DECEMBER 2022 | 13:15 - 14:45 pm ET
This side-event brings forward the latest evidence in support of biodiverse agroecology as a fundamental basis for a global biodiversity strategy and essential to the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). Speakers will also shine a light on emerging coalitions and policy actions that are linking agroecology and agricultural biodiversity, as crucial pathways to transform food systems. This event will be moderated by Alison Blay-Palmer, UNESCO Chair on Food, Biodiversity, and Sustainability Studies.
Snacks and interpretation will be provided.
