ABSTRACT
Dedicated to the global Biodiversity for Food and Nutrition (BFN) Project in Brazil, Kenya, Sri Lanka and Turkey, this standalone chapter follows implementation from A: Context, to B: Planning, and C: Actions. Section A provides a historical and conceptual overview of the global project, the rationale for the selection of countries involved and the BFN Project’s role as a driver of the CBD’s Cross-cutting initiative on biodiversity for food and nutrition. Section B highlights the organization of the partner-based project, elaborating on effective multi-sectoral platforms for implementation. Section C dives into the process of bringing the project components – providing evidence, influencing policy and markets, and raising awareness – to life with attention to best practices and lessons learned. The central narrative is complemented by highlights and examples from the countries’ experiences. This roadmap of the BFN Project is provided to guide other countries and agencies that would like to adopt and adapt a similar approach or integrate it into other ongoing initiatives.
