Biodiversity roundtable series as part of the Food for Brains Festival

The roundtables will seek answers to the questions of the effects of agricultural use on the biodiversity of the agricultural landscape and the solutions, dilemmas and constraints in finding a harmony between biodiversity promotion and agriculture, through a discussion with scientists and women scientists. We will also be interested in how to think about, develop and implement spatial planning to support conservation efforts for nature and individual ecosystems, and decision-making on the protection and use of land. We will also discuss examples of sustainable planning and good design practices that can contribute to enhancing urban biodiversity, the quality of the living environment and tackling climate change.
