WUR is increasingly integrating the domains of biodiversity and food. The research programme 'Biodiversity-positive Food Systems' aims to provide the fundamental knowledge for innovative pathways that enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services on fields, landscapes, and value chains. This programme explicitly combines feasible production, supply- and demand-side food system efforts with opportunities for crop diversity and conservation of natural biodiversity in the landscape.

Goal of the Day

  • Presenting the key learnings from our ongoing research and initiatives;
  • Collaboratively brainstorming on how you can implement these insights in your business or field;
  • Exploring pathways to move forward together, accelerating nature-positive solutions in the food system.

Dan Saladino, BBC journalist and author of the book Eating to Extinction, will open the programme with a keynote lecture. He will also provide a reflection at the end of the day.

Join us for a day of knowledge sharing, innovation, and collaborative thinking. Your participation is crucial, as we strive to co-create a sustainable future together.
