Policy and investment reforms for agriculture-driven biodiversity loss

Agriculture and land-use change due to agriculture and livestock is the largest driver of biodiversity loss worldwide. The IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services estimates that agriculture-driven land-use change is responsible for around 85% of the 28,000 species that...

description Agriculture and land-use change due to agriculture and livestock is the largest driver of biodiversity loss worldwide. The IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services estimates that agriculture-driven land-use change is responsible for around 85% of the 28,000 species that are near extinction (IPBES 2019). Transitioning agricultural practices from those that are driving biodiversity loss to those that harness, and support biodiversity is context-specific and reliant on a series of complex political and economic factors. For example, the recent global popularity of agroecology – as a science, movement, and practice – promises radical changes to the agricultural sector. These changes include a more equal land tenure system (Wittman and James 2022), contextspecific practices that embrace biodiversity (Gliessman 2021) and an agricultural sector based on fairness, social inclusion and participatory innovation.
