The integration of agroecology into National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) at #COP16 is more than a policy suggestion—it's a necessity for the future of our ecosystems. 🌿 Agroecological practices can create synergies that support biodiversity while addressing the challenges of climate change. This is our chance to reshape food systems for the better. Learn how to leverage #agroecology in your national strategies by reading our new report with Biovision Foundation, WWF, Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, and Agroecology Coalition: https://lnkd.in/euHHvYaq

Are fossil fuel-based agrochemicals really essential for feeding the world? 🧪🚜 That’s a complicated question. But we’re here to try and answer it.

🎯 Yesterday at #COP16Colombia, Moritz Fegert (Biovision Foundation), Matheus Alves Zanella (Global Alliance for the Future of Food), Carolina Navarrete Frias (from the Alliance), and Natasja Oerlemans (WWF Netherlands) spoke about the recently launched #NBSAPs guidance — a practical, interactive tool that helps countries integrate #agroecology into their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (#NBSAPs). 👀 How does it work? The guidance offers concrete examples on boosting agrobiodiversity through agroecological practices, including: Shifting from agrochemicals to biological farming 🌿 Encouraging diverse, local seed and crop varieties 🌾 ➡ Want to learn more about it?

As I listen to the discussions unfolding at #COP16, one thing is clearer than ever: integrating agroecology into National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) isn’t just a nice idea—it’s essential to ensuring we protect and boost biodiversity around the world. Industrial #FoodSystems are one of the largest drivers of biodiversity loss, contributing to the climate crisis and threatening ecosystems worldwide. This new report reveals how agroecology can shift the tide by aligning with the Global Biodiversity Framework targets. By embedding agroecological practices, policymakers can:  ✅ Reduce fossil fuel dependency  ✅ Support small-scale farmers and Indigenous communities  ✅ Enhance biodiversity and climate resilience This #COP16, it’s crucial to prioritize agroecology to protect both nature and people.
