Replanter la biodiversité agricole dans la CDB
Summary
The report highlights the critical role of agricultural biodiversity, contrasting the diversity of peasant food networks with the narrow base of industrial food chains. It critiques the CBD for neglecting agriculture since the Rio summit and calls for the Global Biodiversity Framework to recognize both the destructive nature of industrial farming and the restorative potential of peasant-led agriculture.
Key insights
- There is a stark contrast between the biodiversity of peasant food networks, which have domesticated 7,000 plant species and 2.1 million varieties, and industrial food chains, where only 16 plant species account for 86% of global food production.
- Agricultural biodiversity has seen a progressive decline in importance within the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) since the Rio summit, contributing to the failure to implement the Aichi biodiversity targets.
- Industrial agriculture and intensive livestock farming are identified as primary drivers of land-use change, ecosystem destruction, and climate change, whereas peasant-led food systems preserve and enrich agricultural biodiversity.
