Kunming Manifesto calls for agrobiodiversity to transform food systems

The global food system is in urgent need of a radical shake-up to meet growing demand for food and nutrition security.  The 2025 Kunming Manifesto, launched at the 2025 Africa Food Systems Forum, presents agrobiodiversity as a solution to improve nutrition, strengthen ecosystems, and empower local communities, when integrated into policy and practice. Actionable recommendations and case studies show that a coordinated multistakeholder approach in resilient agrifood systems can deliver rapid health, economic, and environmental benefits.
