Series: Joint Multilateral Development Bank Pavilion From Evidence to Action: Operationalizing Biodiversity and Regenerative Practices in Agriculture 20 October 2026 Armenia What does it take to operationalize biodiversity-enhancing and regenerative practices in agriculture? This session answers that question through real country and private sector experience. Grounded in the World Bank's Agriculture Rooted in Biodiversity report and IFC's Regenerative Agriculture framework, the session offers a practical, transferable approach to operationalizing biodiversity in agriculture investment, and is designed to accelerate progress toward the CBD's 2030 targets. Armenia's Ministry of Environment will share how it is advancing landscape restoration and food systems transformation, followed by an IFC client on regenerative agriculture in practice. They will then join CGIAR and IUCN in a panel to dig into the investments, tools, and metrics needed to scale this work across countries, and what it takes to replicate it elsewhere.
