Read the key messages from the position paper:
💡 * At least three targets (1, 3, 10) in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) depend heavily on how food systems are managed from now until 2050. This FABLE Consortium position paper calls for Parties at the Biodiversity COP16 to embed the need for food system transformation into their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action plans (NBSAPs). Integrated models used by 22 countries show how ambitious changes in demand for agricultural commodities, closing yield gaps and replacing unproductive crops, accelerated adoption of agroecological practices, and widespread land restoration and protection respecting local knowledge and needs, will be critical to achieving global biodiversity goals.

💡 * Governments need to develop long-term food and land use system roadmaps to minimize trade-offs and enable synergies across food, biodiversity, climate and socio-economic goals, informed by science and enabled through government inter-agency coordination. The FABLE Consortium supports this effort in a bottom-up approach to pathway development embedded in iterative multistakeholder dialogues. Results from 22 FABLE countries demonstrate which food system actions are critical to achieving global biodiversity targets. COP16 global biodiversity framework hashtagFABLE hashtagPazConLaNaturaleza
💡 * FABLE modelling shows that ambitious changes in demand for agricultural commodities, closing yield gaps and replacing unproductive crops, accelerated adoption of agroecological practices, and widespread land restoration and protection respecting local knowledge and needs, would bring the world closer to achieving its global biodiversity conservation and climate mitigation targets by 2050, without compromising food and nutritional security. This FABLE position paper calls for Parties at the Biodiversity COP16 to embed fundamental changes in food systems into their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action plan.
