IUCN engagement in food and agricultural systems
IUCN’s 1948 founding Vision of a just world that values and conserves nature remains our North Star. IUCN’s 20 Year Vision to 2045 outlines 8 Global Transformations for Nature and People, including Food systems and Sustainable Agriculture where IUCN’s Secretariat will work with Members and Commissions to catalyse a transition to sustainable, equitable and resilient food and agricultural systems that value and conserve nature, while safeguarding human wellbeing and societal benefits.
This will be achieved by:
-
Fostering good governance and dialogue between food and agricultural system actors;
-
Advocating for strong policies, investment and monitoring linking climate change and biodiversity conservation;
-
Providing the science and knowledge necessary to guide decision making of food and agricultural systems actors
-
Promoting sustainable agriculture approaches and nature based solutions, such as regenerative agriculture, agroecology and indigenous practices.
