The Biodiversity for Resilient Ecosystems in Agricultural Landscapes (B-REAL) project seeks conserve and restore biodiversity in intensively farmed, climate-stressed regions of Kenya, Peru, and Colombia by integrating biodiversity conservation and management more effectively into agricultural practices. This is anticipated to lead to increased productivity and diversified income streams, thus contributing to poverty reduction among local communities. B-REAL will be implemented by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, with core partners including CIFOR-ICRAF and the Coady Institute, along with supporting and local partners. The project will ensure critical ecosystems are conserved, focusing on biodiversity hotspots such as the Kakamega and Aberdare forests in Kenya, the paramos ecosystem in the Southern Andes of Colombia, and the Amazon forest in Colombia and Peru. Leveraging innovations and experience from previous work, namely CGIAR's Nature Positive Solutions and Agroecology Initiatives , B-REAL will mainstream site-specific combinations of nature-positive, agroecological solutions, practices, and technologies into agricultural systems by March 2026, laying the foundations for generating even more significant biodiversity gains by 2030. Working with farmers, value chain actors, policymakers, and other stakeholders within the selected landscapes, B-REAL will demonstrate that managing production through approaches that also conserve and enhance biodiversity can better achieve multiple goals, such as nutritious food production, diversified income streams, improved livelihoods, land restoration, and equitable socio- economic benefits for women, youth, and marginalized groups, including indigenous people in Peru and Colombia, and female-headed and traditional farming households in Kenya. Emphasizing gender equity, youth engagement, and social inclusion (GEYSI), B-REAL will scale proven biodiversity-enhancing approaches and the Vision of Adapted Crops and Soils (VACS) model, focusing on adapting crops and soils to local environments and changing climates.
