The food sector is entering a decisive phase, moving from isolated biodiversity pilot projects to coordinated, sector-wide implementation. This session will explore how food retailers, producers, standards, and multi-stakeholder networks are embedding biodiversity criteria into sourcing strategies and agricultural supply chains, particularly for high-risk raw materials. By aligning standards, leveraging innovative roadmaps, and fostering joint action, the session aims to accelerate the transition from pilots to practice—mainstreaming biodiversity protection across the food sector and delivering measurable benefits for ecosystems and supply chains alike
