    The Asia and the Pacific region is rich in biodiversity while facing mounting food insecurity and environmental degradation due to decades of unsustainable agriculture. This study assesses how biodiversity and food systems are integrated in national strategies, examining 41 National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAPs) and National Food System Transformation Pathways (NFSTPs). Findings reveal that while NBSAPs increasingly recognize agrifood systems, especially under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, national targets remain largely aspirational and lack actionable details. NFSTPs, meanwhile, have limited integration of biodiversity in a vision of agrifood systems transformation, indicating significant scope for policy alignment. The study highlights a critical need for stronger policy coherence and concrete actions at national and subnational levels. FAO advocates for bridging biodiversity and agrifood systems transformation through agroecology, spatial planning, and incentive reforms to build resilient and nature-positive food systems in the region.
