Session Description

As part of the France–IUCN Partnership’s ongoing commitment to transforming agriculture and food systems through nature-based solutions (NbS), this side event offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from the ground. Representatives from pilot countries will come together to share concrete progress and lessons learned from the field — including innovative approaches to upscaling agricultural NbS, community-led practices, and advances in land health monitoring. This session will not only showcase practical results and measurable impacts, but also demonstrate how collaboration across national and institutional levels can drive real change in agricultural landscapes.
