Book (stand-alone)Technical reportFree Prior and Informed Consent: An indigenous peoples’ right and a good practice for local communities 2016
This Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) Manual is designed as a tool for project practitioners of a broad range of projects and programmes of any development organization, by providing information about the right to FPIC and how it can be implemented in six steps.
In an FPIC process, the “how”, “when” and “with and by whom”, are as important as “what” is being proposed. For an FPIC process to be effective and result in consent or lack of it, the way in which the process is conducted is paramount. The time allocated for the discussions among the indigenous peoples, the cultural appropriateness of the way the information is conveyed, and the involvement of the whole community, including key groups like women, the elderly and the youth in the process, are all essential. A thorough and well carried FPIC process helps guarantee everyone’s right to self-determination, allowing them to participate in decisions that affect their lives.
This FPIC Manual will ena ble field practitioners to incorporate FPIC into project and programmes’ design and implementation, ensuring that indigenous peoples’ rights are duly respected. FPIC can be considered the “gold standard” because it allows for the highest form of participation of local stakeholders in development projects.

BookletCorporate general interestBeyond 20 years of the Voluntary Guidelines for Right to Food: Progress and Emerging Challenges for Indigenous Peoples
Technical brief 2025
2025Also available in:
No results found.Despite major achievements to uphold the international human rights frameworks and the reinforced legal protection of Indigenous Peoples as a historically marginalized group, their rights continue to be threatened worldwide despite being enshrined in the 1989 ILO Convention 169 and the 2007 UNDRIP. While international frameworks affirm Indigenous Peoples’ rights, their implementation and protection at the national level often fall short. This growing gap between international commitments and national implementation, driven by legal obstacles, data invisibility, lack of political will, and continued violations of collective land and territorial rights undermines Indigenous Peoples’ right to food.Indigenous Peoples’ right to food cannot be ensured without holding states and corporations accountable for the violations of Indigenous Peoples’ rights, including FPIC. It cannot be ensured without recognizing their sovereignty, identity, their special relationship with their lands, territories and natural resources, as well as the relevance of Indigenous Peoples’ food and knowledge systems as holistic systems that integrate the food triad (right to food, food security and food sovereignty).This policy brief reviews developments over the past two decades, assesses the persisting challenges for Indigenous Peoples to feed themselves with dignity, and clarifies the specific content of the right to food for Indigenous Peoples, emphasizing its collective nature and cultural dimension as key distinctive features. It calls for human rights-based policy actions to overcome persisting challenges to the realization of Indigenous Peoples’ right to adequate food. It also explores how the violations of Indigenous Peoples’ collective and individual rights, affects the realization of their right to adequate food.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -

Emergency response to households affected by the earthquake and Tropical Storm Grace
2021Also available in:
No results found.On 14 August, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit the southern regions of Haiti, in particular the departments of Grand’Anse, Nippes and Sud. Two days later, Tropical Storm Grace’s torrential rains caused floods and landslides in the same departments affected by the earthquake, as well as in Sud-Est. Preliminary reports from the Departmental Directorates of Agriculture and FAO's partners indicate widespread damages to the agricultural sector. FAO’s urgent call for funding aims at providing a response to affected populations, by protecting and restoring the livelihoods of 32 000 rural households (160 000 people) affected by the earthquake and Storm Grace.
