Pourquoi participer

We will present a new publication that examines correlations between support to agricultural producers and threatened species at country-level. The aim is to provide experts and policymakers with data, results, and recommendations to reform harmful incentives and better align agricultural policies with the goals and targets of the KMGBF.

Description de la séance

The context will be presented (agriculture is both dependent on nature and a threat to nature). With human population expected to reach almost 10 billion by 2050, we are now at a critical juncture : agricultural policies need to not only consider food security, livelihoods, other social objectives, and trade distortion, but also nature. What do we know about the relationships between support to agricultural producers, trade distortion and threats to species? Could support to agricultural producers be repurposed and be less trade distortive and encourage production practices that are beneficial for biodiversity? What are the most harmful agricultural support for biodiversity? IUCN has analysed and integrated the most globally comprehensive datasets on biodiversity (The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species), agricultural support (AgIncentives), land use (FAO), and trade (UN Comtrade). Main methods, results and recommendations will be presented, followed by an open discussion with the audience.
