This document reports on the recommendations raised by the multi-stakeholder participants at the Regional Dialogue that took place in Amman, Jordan, on 3-5 Nov 2019. The meeting gathered about 80 participants from 15 out of the 18 countries of the region, with a balanced mix between Ministries of Agriculture and Ministries of Environment, regional and international research institutions, UN Organizations, NGOs, private sector, and civil society. The meeting was hosted and opened by the Minister of Agriculture and Environment of Jordan, while keynote speeches were addressed by Assistant Director-General and Director of Climate, Biodiversity, Land and Water Department Mr Castro-Salazar, H.R.H. Princess Basma Bint Ali, Head of the National Committee of Biodiversity, Jordan, and the Director General of the Jordanian Agricultural Research Center, H.E. Nizar Haddad. The primary objective of the Dialogue was to review the draft FAO Strategy on Biodiversity Mainstreaming across Agricultural Sectors, and provide FAO with a regional perspective on the proposed strategy. In addition, the meeting was an opportunity to make progress in the following areas: • Increase awareness about the importance of biodiversity mainstreaming across the agricultural sectors within the Region; • Exchange knowledge, experiences, and lessons learned (including gaps and challenges) on biodiversity mainstreaming among countries within the Region; • Identify areas for action across sectors and priorities at the regional and country level. -

Biological resources are the pillars that support agriculture and mankind’s capacity to feed itself. The conservation and the sustainable use of biological diversity in agriculture are key to the long term sustainability of our food systems, and are therefore a global responsibility. The FAO Biodiversity Mainstreaming Platform adopts a systemic and holistic approach to biodiversity mainstreaming, fostering and highlighting the synergies between FAO’s work on biodiversity and connected areas, including agroecology, indigenous peoples, incentives for ecosystem services, agrobiodiversity, low carbon agriculture, nutrition, sustainable rice production, and pollination, among other relevant subjects. The goals of the FAO Biodiversity Mainstreaming Strategy include a) sustainable use of biodiversity through landscape and ecosystem approaches, b) conserve, enhance and restore biodiversity and ensure the continued provision of ecosystem services, c) promote sustainable food and agriculture systems that integrate biodiversity considerations throughout value chains and d) enhance the contribution of biodiversity, and associated indigenous and local knowledge, to food security and nutrition, ending poverty, and safeguarding resilient livelihoods. Regional consultations are being organized during the second semester of 2019 as part of the preparation of the Biodiversity Mainstreaming Strategy. The Regional Consultative Meeting on Biodiversity Mainstreaming across Agricultural Sectors in the Near East and North Africa Region (NENA) is part of this process, and is being organized by FAO in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment of Jordan.
