Many sustainable agricultural systems and practices follow the nature-based solutions approach and place biodiversity at the core of the farming system, whilst achieving societal and economic benefits for both the producers and the community. They are doing this whilst Europe’s farming and food systems are under escalating pressures to deliver public benefits for climate, environment, biodiversity, and social well-being, on top of ensuring health affordable food and facing increasing risks and losses from climate change.
Join this NetworkNature event to hear about and discuss best practices and approaches to sustainable food systems and explore how they align with the global standard for nature-based solutions. The event will demonstrate how farming and food systems are assessing and demonstrating their positive impacts on nature, people, and the economy, whilst building resilient farming. The event will feature tools and methods that can be used to measure and assess environmental, societal and economic benefits of farming and food systems.
The event is aimed at policymakers and stakeholders at EU level with an interest and stake in sustainable agriculture and food systems, in farming and forestry organisations, food and farming businesses, European policy makers.
