Why attend

 Join the authors of IUCN’s flagship Agriculture and Conservation report to hear fresh insights on how food production and biodiversity protection can be reconciled. Gain exclusive access to new evidence, concrete solutions, and policy recommendations, and engage directly with IUCN experts working on sustainable agriculture and conservation pathways globally.

Session Description

The event is structured around IUCN’s newly published Flagship Report Agriculture and Conservation. The report examines the synergies and trade-offs between agriculture and biodiversity conservation at the heart of the Global Biodiversity Framework. Agriculture is also central to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which calls for both ending hunger and protecting nature. Whether these goals can be achieved together, and how, are critical questions for humanity and the planet. The report analyses positive and negative interactions between agriculture and conservation, applies new modelling approaches to explore a range of realistic policies, and proposes actionable recommendations to realign food production with biodiversity goals. Designed as a Meet the Authors conversation, the session will highlight key findings, bring in diverse perspectives from partners, and invite audience engagement on practical steps to advance sustainable agriculture, ensure food security, and strengthen resilience of ecosystems.
