Dear Ruth, thank you for sharing this news & link. I look forward to reading Brazil's report -- particularly its references to BFN and food composition.
Best,
Carol

 Dear all,Our Brazilian colleagues from
 our GEF-funded project “Mainstreaming Biodiversity
 Conservation and Sustainable Use for Improved Human
 Nutrition and Well-being” (BFN see  www.b4fn.org,
  coordinated by Bioversity International and
 implemented by FAO and UNEP in Brazil, Sri Lanka, Turkey and
 Kenya) just informed us that Brazil's 5th National
 Report to the CBD is already on the Convention's website
 (http://www.cbd.int/reports/search/
  ) and it refers to the BFN Project. You will find
 references in the section 1.2.3.3 (Biodiversity for Food and
 Nutrition), 1.4.7.1 (Native biodiversity) and during the
 analysis of the progress of National Target 13 (page 197).
   You will see that one of the
 important components is the analysis of food composition.
 Linking food composition and biodiversity to agriculture and
 other sectors’ policies, programmes and plans of
 action is key in improving our food supply, among others.
   Interesting, no? A good
 example, I think
  Best
