MeetingWorking Group on Dryland Forests and Agrosilvopastoral Systems. Forest and Agriculture Linkages: Strengthening forest and rangeland resilience through restoring silvopastoral systems for better drought and economic management - COFO/WG-DF/2023/4
Third Session (Hybrid), Amman, 11–13 September 2023
2023Scaling up sustainable land management is a priority area of work for FAO. The Twenty-fifth Session of the Committee on Forestry (COFO) commended FAO’s cross-sectoral work on enhancing the contributions of forests and trees for sustainable agriculture and food systems by engaging both private and public stakeholders. A joint intersessional Roadmap on forestry-agriculture linkages was developed and endorsed by the Bureau of Committee on Agriculture (COAG) and the Steering Committee of COFO. -

It was implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and partners, with majority of funding from the European Union and co-funding from diverse partners. The project contributed to improving the conditions and productivity of agrosilvipastoral landscapes and the capacity to plan land restoration and manage forest and land resources. Livelihood improvements and concrete positive incidence on household income, food security, crops and milk production, and community interactions. It increased awareness and support policy makers developing intervention strategies that address D/LDD. The large-scale, heavy machinery-based technical intervention logic was found appropriate to address desertification/land degradation and drought (D/LDD) in specific conditions and countries. The geospatial study estimated the contribution of Action Against Desertification (AAD) to carbon sequestration to be between 384 000 and 1.27 million tonnes of carbon sequestered. The evaluation recommendations include further investments in training; building awareness and addressing climate change and land degradation; increasing political and policy coherence; guaranteeing sustainability and buy-in from beneficiaries; building in sustainable financing mechanisms at all stakeholder levels; increasing opportunities; and developing non-timber forest product (NTFP) value chains to create and develop viable markets for the products.
