The brief highlighted the challenges of agricultural land degradation, which threatens livelihoods and undermines progress toward biodiversity, climate, and desertification goals. It emphasized the need for a transition to agroecological and regenerative approaches to restore degraded lands and enhance climate resilience. CGIAR and its partners showcased scalable solutions such as conservation agriculture and integrated desert farming to combat land degradation and improve productivity. Collaborative efforts among stakeholders were deemed essential for achieving land degradation neutrality and supporting sustainable agrifood systems that align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
