Organized by by Pro Natura and Friends of the Earth, this conference will focus on the question of how serious the threat of agriculture is to biodiversity, methods for sustaining diversity, and political instruments to enhance biodiversity. It will also address what decisions in agriculture and trade policy are needed to stop or reverse the global trend in species extinction.
