Agricultural standards and Nature Positive

2026 Bhasin, Medha | Curet, Florence |

Agricultural standards and associated certification schemes can play a critical role in mainstreaming biodiversity conservation within farming practices. However, the diversity of standards and criteria makes it difficult to understand how effective they are in raising ambition for biodiversity conservation and delivering contributions to the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF).

2020 Curet, Florence | Puydarrieux, Philippe |

In recent decades, partnerships and cooperative initiatives of state and non-state actors have been increasingly called upon by the United Nations to contribute transformative solutions to the challenges of sustainable development. Many of such initiatives strive to end hunger, mitigate climate change or build sustainable cities, and are most deeply connected to natural resources and land use to achieve their objectives.
