    Since 2015 the Government of Indonesia (GOI) has accelerated the social forestry program. Previously the total forest areas allocated for social forestry were less than 0.6 million hectares, while during 2015 to 2021 it increased more 4.0 million hectares. It was much faster than the previous social forestry program for 20 years before 2015. Why could it be achieved? Firstly, this paper would like to explain the process of the social forestry program during that time. Secondly, this paper would like to propose a new approach of government and other stakeholder engagement for supporting the social forestry programs. Digital based-government services are needed because when entering the industrial revolution 4.0 the forestry sector in Indonesia encounters new tradition of the communities living around forest areas, as well as in larger society. By implementing a new approach, the social forestry program in Indonesia would be enhancing and strengthening the community welfare and sustainable forest, and SDGs as well.

    The high challenges and expectations in the management of Indonesian Tropical Forests to achieve the community welfare, forest sustainability and sustainable development goals, demands proper management in optimizing the use of forest resources to meet the high dependence of community needs on the forest. The pressure on forests is reflected in the deforestation that occurs as an indication of the various dependencies of the community on forests to meet their daily needs. In this regard, Agroforestry is a potential silvicultural recipe as a solution to restore degraded land and forest that can gain balance ecological, economic and social benefits. This paper aims to provide information on plant growth performance and survival rate in the establishment of agroforestry plot for a total 34 hectares in three schemes of Social Forestry in Indonesia, namely Paru Village Forest (VF)–West Sumatra, Cempaka Forestry Partnership (FP)–Lampung, Tuar Tana Community Forestry (CF)– East Nusa Tenggara, in collaboration between Forestry and Environment Research, Development and Innovation Agency with the Asian Forest Cooperation Organization (AFoCO). It was conducted by planting 26 plant sp Intensive Artificial Regeneration with planting distance of 8x8 m and 5x5 m depend on plant species. The collected data covered for survival rate and height measurement. Growth Percentage was observed at ages 1, 6, 12 and 18 months after plan participation which looks high in maintaining their crops while survival rate in Tuar Tana CF was low enough only 43,2% due to the drough in this semi-arid region which affect the plant growth, eventhough the farmers have high effort in maintaining their crops.

    Impact of capacity building in leveraging community skills and livelihoods: lessons learned from social forestry in Indonesia

    Indonesia encounters several challenges in forest management due to the high communities’ demand for forest resources, including the need for agricultural land within state-owned forest areas. Community Based Forest Management (CBFM) is a strategy that emphasizes on the importance of community’s involvement in forest conservation. CBFM planning has an important role in the implementation of effective and sustainable forest management through a participatory approach involving all parties in Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling. This paper aims to provide information on impact of capacity building in leveraging community skill and livehood in three schemes of Social Forestry (SF) in Indonesia, namely Paru Village Forest (VF)–West Sumatra, Cempaka Forestry Partnership (FP)–Lampung, and Tuar Tana Community Forestry (CF)–East Nusa Tenggara, in collaboration between Forestry and Environment Research, Development and Innovation Agency with the Asian Forest Cooperation Organization (AFoCO). The research was conducted through structured interviews, FGDs and field observations by an analysis unit while the informations obtained were analyzed through descriptively qualitative and quantitative methods. The results showed that the provided assistances and capacity building in three SF schemes have increased the active participation of group members in the preparation of technical plans and implementation of economic value species planting and processing of non-timber forest products (NTFPs).Other benefits are the reduced land boundary conflicts, an increase in the frequency of routine group meetings, an increase in the number of members who are able to process NTFPs into semi-finished or finished goods. This condition shows that the provided assistance is able to increase the capacity of farmers so as to change the perceptions and attitudes of group members and encourage them to actively participate in forest management in three SF area.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.

    This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018

    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.
