The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is pleased to host a Multi-stakeholder Dialogue on Biodiversity Mainstreaming across Agricultural Sectors, jointly organized with the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), to be held at FAO headquarters in Rome from 29 to 31 May 2018.

This meeting is one of the first activities of the Biodiversity Mainstreaming Platform launched last year. The Dialogue will be an open-ended informal meeting bringing together experts and stakeholders from agriculture, forestry, fisheries and the environment sectors aiming at identifying areas of joint action in developing integrated approaches for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, in support of the SDGs, while increasing production to meet the growing demand for food. The Dialogue will be followed by a High-Level Segment on 31 May 2018.

In the run up to the event an e-consultation via FAO’s Food Security and Nutrition Forum will be held to feed into the debate to be held during the meeting.
