Forests
2024Also available in:
No results found.Forests in Asia and the Pacific region are a key resource focal point, requiring managed utilisation for timber and non-timber products, and conservation for biodiversity preservation and carbon sequestration. They are also the site for communities who have lived there for generations and are often among the poorest and most marginalised in their respective countries. The livelihoods of these people are dependent upon an income derived from forest resources. Yet forest communities, many of which comprise Indigenous Peoples, live and operate under customary tenure systems that often go unrecognised by state actors. -

Agricultural productivity and food security
2024Also available in:
No results found.Recent events, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise in fuel prices, have placed new strains on our global agri-food system. With world hunger increasing, it is projected that 670 million people will be facing malnourishment in 2030, the same proportion of the world’s population (8 percent) as when the 2030 Agenda was introduced in 2015. It has never been so critical to support our production systems to increase food security. Particularly critical is the role of smallholders. While they are crucial in the fight to achieve food security, they are the ones often held back in accessing technologies and credit to improve productivity, while suffering from uncertainty as to whether they will keep hold of their land.
