Biodiversity Conservation in Agriculture

Objective:

Explore strategies for integrating biodiversity conservation into agricultural practices to promote ecological balance, enhance resilience, and sustainably secure food production.

Theme :

"Harmony in Cultivation: Nurturing Biodiversity for Sustainable Agriculture and Ecosystem Resilience".

This session emphasizes the crucial role of biodiversity conservation in agriculture. Discussions will revolve around practices that promote and preserve biodiversity within farming systems, including agroecological approaches, habitat restoration, and the protection of pollinators. The objective is to highlight the benefits of biodiversity conservation in maintaining ecosystem services, improving crop yields, and fostering sustainable agricultural landscapes.

Biodiversity Conservation in Agriculture is contribution to
The Sustainable Development Goals:

Goal 2: Zero Hunger
Biodiversity conservation in agriculture contributes to SDG 2 by supporting diverse ecosystems that enhance soil health, reduce pests, and contribute to more resilient and sustainable food production.
Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production:
The session aligns with SDG 12 by promoting responsible land use and agricultural practices that minimize the negative impact on ecosystems and biodiversity.
Goal 13: Climate Action:
Biodiversity conservation is essential for climate resilience, aligning with SDG 13 by contributing to the adaptation and mitigation of climate change impacts in agricultural systems.
Goal 15: Life on Land:
The session directly aligns with SDG 15 by focusing on biodiversity conservation on land, including efforts to protect and restore ecosystems within agricultural landscapes.
Goal 1: No Poverty:
Promoting biodiversity conservation in agriculture can contribute to poverty reduction by enhancing the resilience of farming systems, providing more stable and diversified income sources.
Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation:
Biodiversity conservation practices can contribute to maintaining water quality in agricultural areas, aligning with SDG 6.
Goal 14: Life Below Water:
Although indirectly related, efforts to conserve biodiversity in agriculture can help reduce runoff and its impact on marine ecosystems, contributing to SDG 14.
Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals:
Collaboration and partnerships are crucial for the successful implementation of biodiversity conservation initiatives in agriculture, aligning with the spirit of SDG 17.
