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,

Dear Participants,
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the valuable reviews and contributions we have received for this Consultation on Draft guidance for target 10 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. We truly appreciate the time and effort that you put into reviewing the document and providing your review and input – they will no doubt improve the document tremendously!
The Contribution call was hosted on behalf of the writers of the Guidance document from 20 December 2024 to 16 January 2025. During this period 26 submissions and comments were received, from a diverse group of participants located in over 15 countries.
Countries have until 2030 to implement their commitments under the Convention on Biological Diversity related to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework - a very short window. We hope the guidance, once finalized, will assist agrifood stakeholders to better engage in the National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans and translate global commitments on biodiversity into action. The finalized document will be made available on the FSN Forum.
Thank you and best regards,
Julie Bélanger, Natural Resources Officer (Biodiversity), Office of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment, FAO

Dear Participants, dear Colleagues:
We wish to thank those of you who have already contributed to this consultation on ‘Agrifood systems in National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans – Draft guidance for target 10 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework’.
Your input will greatly enhance the relevance of the Guidance and hopefully bring about meaningful and positive changes in how agrifood systems and biodiversity interact. We would like to further invite all stakeholders to share their review of the draft guidance, as well as their experiences and case studies to illustrate the steps proposed.
By contributing to this consultation, using the TEMPLATE for submissions and the Draft Guidance document, you can actively and concretely contribute to one of the key objectives of the Guidance document, which is to help agrifood sector stakeholders engage in the national and global implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
With most targets of the Framework related to agrifood systems, stakeholder engagement will be essential to its successful implementation. With this consultation, we are pleased to invite all of you to have your say and share openly your suggestions and experiences on this important topic.
Kind regards,
Julie Bélanger, Natural Resources Officer (Biodiversity)
