In recent decades, concerns have grown around the environmental impact of the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector, more specifically on the impact of agricultural activities on biodiversity. Since the introduction of the Aichi targets, released by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 2010, the United Nations have been empowered with greater influence on decision-making impacting biodiversity. The Biodiversity Integrated Assessment and Computation Tool (B-INTACT) uniquely seeks to provide a thorough biodiversity assessment of project-level activities in the AFOLU sector, taking on both a quantitative and a qualitative approach.

Revised 4 June 2020: The name of the tool "EX-Ante Carbon-balance Tool for Biodiversity (EX-ACT Biodiversity)" has been changed to "Biodiversity Integrated Assessment and Computation Tool (B-INTACT)"
