Dear Participants,
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the numerous valuable contributions we have received for this call for experiences, best practices and scalable solutions for the integration of biodiversity into agriculture. We truly appreciate the time and effort that you put into submitting your contributions and have been reading your input with great interest!
The Call was hosted on behalf of the steering committee and co-chairs of the International Symposium "Agriculture, Biodiversity and Food Security: From Commitments to Actions", to take place in Quebec City, Canada, from April 30 to May 2, 2024. It ran for a total of 6 weeks in February-March 2024. During this period 128 submissions and comments were received, from a diverse group of participants located in over 50 countries.
Looking towards the Symposium, the results of this call will help inform discussions and recommendations to help translate global commitments on biodiversity into action. The outcomes of the Symposium will be made available on the FSN Forum.
Thank you and best regards,
On behalf of the steering committee of the Symposium and its co-chairs

On behalf of the Steering Committee of the International Symposium "Agriculture, Biodiversity and Food Security: From Commitments to Actions" and its Co-Chairs, we wish to thank those who have already contributed to this Call for experiences, best practices and scalable solutions for the integration of biodiversity into agriculture and further invite all stakeholders to share their experiences and expertise.
By contributing to this call, using the template for submissions and the first version of the recommendations (Zero Draft), you can actively and concretely help build relevant technical recommendations to facilitate the agricultural sector's commitment to achieving the sector-relevant targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
We look forward to receiving your contributions which will feed the Symposium's discussions and outcomes.
Best regards,
Co-facilitator Julie Bélanger, Natural Resources Officer (Biodiversity), Office of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment, FAO
