Agrifood systems in National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) outlines four ambitious goals for 2050 and 23 specific targets for 2030. To implement the GBF, countries are developing National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs).

Under Target 10 of the GBF, countries commit to sustainably managing areas under agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry, including through the application of biodiversity-friendly practices.

The FSN Forum – FAO’s open, neutral platform for multistakeholder dialogue – in collaboration with FAO’s Biodiversity Mainstreaming Unit, has made available a space where you can review and provide input on the draft Guidance for Target 10 of the GBF, as well as share relevant examples, materials and case studies.

Contributions are welcome in English, French and Spanish. The call is open until 16 January 2025.

Here's a selection of FAO titles that might guide your work.
