    FAO & Turkey Partnership: Partnering for food security and sustainable management of natural resources 2022
    Also available in:

    FAO and Turkey’s cooperation continues to prosper through two Partnership Programmes dedicated to food security and sustainable management of natural resources – the FAOTurkey Partnership Programme on Food and Agriculture (FTPP) and the FAO-Turkey Forestry Partnership Programme (FTFP), both of which are supported by trust fund contributions of the Government of the Republic of Turkey, which total to date USD 30 million. The two programmes contribute significantly to strengthening the capacities of the countries of Central Asia and Caucasus in the areas of agriculture and foresty as well as the capacities of other countries, such as in Africa and the Balkans, not only through the provision of funding but also through shared experience and expertise.

    FAO/IPCC Expert meeting on land use, climate change and food security 2017

    One hundred scientists, economists and policy experts participated in a three-day expert meeting (EM) to engage in a high-level, globally oriented, and multidisciplinary scoping of topics that climate change to land use and food security. The EM was structured around five themes: climate impacts and human-directed drivers of land change and linkages to food security; mitigation and adaptation options; and policies for resource management, smallholder resilience, mitigation and food and nutrition security. The present report offers a comprehensive synthesis of the EM findings and conclusions reflecting the collective view participants and external reviewers. The report is a valuable source for the IPCC above-mentioned Special Report, especially in relation to food security, as well to researchers and policy makers concerned with the policy implication of food security in relation to post-Paris climate action and Agenda 2030.

    Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands. Manual for Local Level Assessment of Land Degradation and Sustainable Land Management. Part 1
    Planning and methodological approach, analysis and reporting
    2016
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This local level land resources assessment methodology (LADA-Local) was produced within the Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands (LADA) project. See Box 1 for the LADA project objectives and outcomes and the website www.fao.org/nr/lada for further information. The main purpose of LADA-Local is to provide a standard methodological approach and tool-kit for the assessment of land degradation processes, their causes and impacts at local1 level in collabor ation with local stakeholders and communities. The focus is on human-induced land degradation; however, natural degradation processes are also addressed. For a more balanced and complete understanding, the approach also assesses the extent to which land resources (soil, vegetation, water) and landscapes/ecosystems are being conserved and/or improved by sustainable land management (SLM) practices.
