ProjectFactsheetSupporting Human and Institutional Capacity Development in Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests - GCP/GLO/501/GER 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The livelihoods of many, particularly the rural poor, are based on secure and equitable access to and control over land, fisheries and forests. Governance of tenure is a crucial element in determining if and how people, communities and others are able to acquire rights to use and control land and other natural resources. Compliance with the principles and good practices set out in the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) will help to promote sustainable social and economic development that can help eradicate poverty and food insecurity. In line with this approach, the Government of Germany-funded project, which was part of a wider FAO multidonor-funded umbrella programme to support the implementation of the VGGT globally, supported the delivery of a series of Learning Programmes specific to the VGGT and targeted country actors engaged in different aspects of the VGGT: i) VGGT fundamentals: Implementing responsible governance of tenure; ii) Governing land for women and men; and iii) Safeguarding land tenure rights in the context of agricultural investments –FPIC.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileFAO land and water
2021 annual overview
2023Also available in:
No results found.The 2021 annual overview related to FAO’s work on land and water presents the main accomplishments achieved by FAO over the course of 2021 to promote coherent and integrated approaches to sustainable land, soil and water management. Our planet’s natural resources – land, soils and water – are at the core of agrifood systems: more than 95 percent of the food we eat is produced on land. Nevertheless, the degradation of these resources and the enormous threats posed by climate change and human activities became more widespread. Natural resources, land and water ecosystems, and the environment are under unprecedented stress, and it is our duty to safeguard them for all of us and the future generations. Land, soils and water resources need to be managed wisely to ensure that all people, in every corner of the world, have sustainable access to safe, healthy, nutritious and affordable food, and prevent the global health crisis from turning into a food crisis. -

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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
