Biodiversity is the foundation of ecosystem services to which human wellbeing is intimately linked. 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.

The Regional Consultative Meeting on Biodiversity Mainstreaming across Agricultural Sectors in Asia and the Pacific was held last 17 to 18 July 2019 in Bangkok, Thailand. The Meeting was co-organized by FAO and the UN CBD Secretariat, in collaboration with the Office of Natural Resources and Environment Policy and Planning (ONEP) and the Biodiversity-Based Economy Development Office (BEDO) of the Kingdom of Thailand. The main objective of the Regional Consultative Meeting was to engage a broad range of stakeholders to share local, national, and regional experiences and lessons learned (including gaps and challenges) on mainstreaming biodiversity across agricultural sectors. In addition, it aimed at identifying concrete areas for joint actions, at the regional and country levels, in view of the preparations for the UN CBD Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and for the FAO Strategy on Mainstreaming Biodiversity across Agricultural Sectors (the Strategy).
