    This publication presents FAO’s key initiatives in support of the landscape approach, and represents an important step in consolidating these knowledge resources in support of country commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals. FAO is leading efforts to improve food security and nutrition through integrated approaches on the ground. These initiatives are based on the resilience and social equity of communities, and preserving the natural resource base upon which all food production depends. We know we can meet the challenge of ending hunger, and support sustainable livelihoods of people and communities who produce food. However, to be successful we must simultaneously address challenges that are both natural resource-based and socio-economic in nature, the origins of which may stem far from affected communities. This requires integrated investments at scale and across domains.

    Meeting the targets of the 2030 Agenda in rural areas requires innovative approaches to unlock the potential of agriculture, promote sustainable growth and enhance rural livelihoods. This implies investing in the restoration and sustainable management of landscapes and territories, so that they can provide the basis for long-lasting productive agriculture and food systems and generate job opportunities and adequate incomes. The management of local socio-ecological systems requires effective stakeholder engagement, consensus building, strong local institutions and a shared vision of goals and priorities. This programme seeks to strengthen the planning and coordination capacities of local institutions to design and implement action plans and to mobilize investments for sustainable rural development. The key sectors of interest include those aiming to reduce rural poverty, promote local development and preserve the environment, starting with sustainable agriculture practices. FAO, together with its partners, aims to identify successful approaches, foster evidence generation and promote knowledge exchange, including through South‒South cooperation.
