Synopsis (short abstract) Rapidly increasing input prices, especially for fertilizers and energy derived from fossil fuels, have put upward pressure on world food prices, with negative consequences for global food security. The situation is particularly severe in Africa, where countries are heavily dependent on imported agricultural inputs and smallholders account for a large share of agricultural production, many of whom are food insecure themselves. These pressing challenges must be addressed collectively. In the joint FAO-WTO report on fertilizer markets and policies, G20 governments are urged to take action to promote access to, and more efficient use of fertilizers, laying the foundation for further progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition.

    The guidelines are the first comprehensive, global instrument on tenure and its administration to be prepared through intergovernmental negotiations. The guidelines set out principles and internationally accepted standards of responsible practices for the use and control of land, fisheries and forests. They provide guidance for improving the policy, legal and organizational frameworks that regulate tenure rights; for enhancing the transparency and administration of tenure systems; and for strengthening the capacities and operations of public bodies, private sector enterprises, civil society organizations and people concerned with tenure and its governance. The guidelines place the governance of tenure within the context of national food security, and are intended to contribute to the progressive realization of the right to adequate food, poverty eradication, environmental protection and sustainable social and economic development.
