Food Systems - ForumforAgAgricultural Systems with Alberto ArroyoIn this episode we talk with Alberto Arroyo, Head of Policy and Programs at the IUCN European Regional Office, about a recent report looking into different forms of more sustainable agriculture, what commonalities they share, how they can best be implemented, and whether there is low-hanging fruit that can be more easily achieved.
IUCN is a Strategic Partner of the Forum for the Future of Agriculture.

Becoming bankable: project developers tell their storiesThe path from charity to company can seem daunting. But for ocean conservationists who want more than relying on sporadic grants and donations, there is a way forward. In fact – there are many. In this episode, BNCFF manager Dorothée Herr meets three project developers who are each becoming bankable in fundamentally different ways: using seaweed supply chains, tourism in marine reserves, and even selling carbon credits. Each method is helping to maintain and restore extraordinary ecosystems - while creating opportunities for local communities.

Nature-based Solutions: investments for the planetNature-based Solutions are neither wind farms nor sustainable engineering. And they are more than your usual conservation efforts. Instead, they’re projects based on managing real ecosystems - with wide societal benefits, positive financial impacts, and a chance to create a more sustainable future. In this episode, BNCFF manager Dorothée Herr explores the ideas behind Nature-based Solutions as long-term investments, discusses the case study of an extraordinary marine reserve in the Philippines, and discovers how projects like these can be good for people, planet, and profit.

When it comes to tackling climate change and the biodiversity crisis, the ocean and the world’s coastlines offer many solutions. Yet these solutions don’t receive anywhere near enough money to realize them. And while governments and philanthropists should provide more funding, they can’t meet the challenge alone. Investments from the private sector are equally key to success. Entrepreneurs across the world need support to integrate restoration and conservation into sustainable businesses.
