## Resource

Biodiversity is the foundation of life on Earth, yet it's disappearing at an alarming rate—with habitats fragmented and up to a million species at risk. Agriculture is a key driver of this crisis, but is it a central focus in global biodiversity solutions? In this episode, we delve into the recent United Nations Biodiversity Conference in Cali, Colombia, with insights from experts who were on the ground. Was there an agri-food flavor to the discussions? What were the key takeaways, and did this COP live up to its promises—or was it just for show? Join us for a deep dive into the intersection of agriculture, biodiversity, and global policymaking, with our guests: Edward Davey, Head of the World Resources Institute Europe's UK office Lim Li Ching, co-chair of IPES-Food and senior researcher at Third World Network (TWN) Hazel Healy, De Smog’s UK Editor in Chief Host: Natasha FootePost-Production: Jonathan RémyMusic: Leonardo Prieto Dorantes and Jonathan Rémy Follow @SlowFoodEurope on X, and join our Telegram group: https://t.me/+xSzaZeIyCUM1NjJk A project by Slow Food Youth Network (SFYN) Financed by the European Union.
