In recent years, the Conferences of the Parties on Biological Diversity (CBD) have seen intense and growing participation from civil society and the private sector among official policy discussions. At COP16 in Cali, the latter took a prominent role: companies in agrifood, information technology and new technologies, finance, and consumer goods spoke strongly about a “nature positive” future, the new mantra of a section of the industry.

The CGIAR, formally Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research, has outlined nature-positive agriculture as “a regenerative, non-depleting and non-destructive use of natural resources to sufficiently meet the growing demand for food. It is designed through five main pillars of creating a sustainable food production system, namely: conserve, manage, restore, recycle and engage.” We talked about it in this article published on the Circular Economy for Food website, a project of the University of Grastronomical Sciences in Pollenzo, for which it was originally written.
