Replanter la biodiversité agricole dans la CDB
Summary
The document examines the decline of agricultural biodiversity and the failure of the CBD to address industrial agriculture as a primary driver of ecosystem destruction. It contrasts the 'industrial food chain' with the 'peasant food network,' arguing that agroecology is essential for climate resilience and biodiversity restoration. The report criticizes 'false solutions' like nature-based solutions and sustainable intensification, and calls for the new Global Biodiversity Framework to prioritize the rights of small-scale producers and the elimination of industrial monocultures.
Key insights
- Industrial agriculture is identified as a primary driver of biodiversity loss, characterized by large-scale monocultures and the widespread use of pesticides and herbicides.
- There is a stark contrast between the 'peasant food network' and the 'industrial food chain' in terms of biodiversity and resource efficiency; the peasant network uses less than 25% of agricultural land to feed over 70% of the population.
- Agroecology is presented as a systemic approach that enhances climate resilience and biodiversity by relying on biological processes and respecting the rights of small-scale producers.
- The report criticizes 'false solutions' such as 'net zero' offsets, 'nature-based solutions' (SFN), and 'sustainable intensification,' arguing they often mask continued environmental destruction or promote industrial technologies.
- Government subsidies often fund the destruction of biodiversity at rates far exceeding conservation funding; for example, Indonesia spent 27 billion dollars subsidizing deforestation-related activities compared to 165 million dollars to end deforestation.
- The CBD has historically neglected agricultural biodiversity, with a significant drop in related decisions following the Nagoya protocol and the Aichi targets, which the report claims were not met.
- The report argues that the draft Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) remains too focused on productivity rather than the reduction of agricultural impacts on biodiversity.
