Achieving global biodiversity targets requires shifting food and land use system trajectories

Report

The FABLE consortium mobilizes institutions and stakeholders to develop national food and land use pathways and model their impacts on progress towards national and global targets21. Pathway development in 2023 by 22 countries, accounting for 60% of global terrestrial land area, combined with regional pathways developed for the remaining countries in the six world regions shows that, globally, we will fail to achieve GBF Targets 1, 3 and 10 under current food and land use system trajectories. Significant progress can be made on all three targets through ambitious changes in demand for agricultural commodities, increases in crop and livestock productivity, increased adoption of agroecological practices, and widespread land restoration and protection.
