    Conflict and Food Security in Beni-Lubero 2006
    Also available in:
    This report discusses the extent to which household coping strategies have led to an efficient adaptation of livelihoods in the region of Beni-Lubero (North Kivu). A second question will be to what extent food security interventions have facilitated or blocked this adaptation process. The region was chosen as a case study because of its particular characteristic as being reigned by ‘neither-war-nor-peace’. During such situations, households have been observed to show a great degree of inventiven ess in terms of short-term coping strategies. Whether or not this inventiveness is leading to a greater resilience is the main question of this report. Finally, some recommendations will be given in terms of adapting existing food security programmes to such complex and changing situations.

    Food security and conflict: Empirical challenges and future opportunities for research and policy making on food security and conflict 2018

    During the previous decade there has been an increased focus on the role of food security in conflict processes, both in the academic and policy communities. While the policy community has pushed forward with new programs, the academic debate about the causal linkages between food security and conflict remains debated. This article emphasizes the endogeneity that characterizes the coupling between food (in)security and violent conflict. We make three contributions. First, we define conflict and food security using the standard Uppsala Conflict Data Program and the FAO databases, and illustrate how intervening factors influence the relationship between conflict and food security at the micro and macro levels. Second, we provide a comprehensive review of the literature on linkages between food security and conflict, focusing on findings that account for endogeneity issues and have a causal interpretation. Third, we highlight policy-affecting data gaps beyond endogeneity and chart ways forward to improve the existing bodies of data and support new data collection to fill the academic gaps and support policy making. Our article supports to the ongoing debate around the causal relationship between food security and conflict, while also providing policy makers with analysis of data challenges and opportunities for innovation in food security and peacebuilding.

    Carbone organique du sol - une richesse invisible 2017
    Also available in:
    Cette publication a été lancée lors du colloque international sur le carbone organique du sol (GSOC) qui s’est tenu au siège de la FAO (Rome, 21-23 mars 2017). Pour les preneurs de décisions et les praticiens, il offre une vue d’ensemble sur les principaux faits et informations scientifiques concernant les connaissances actuelles et les lacunes de savoirs sur le carbone organique du sol. Elle met en lumière la manière dont une meilleure information et de bonnes pratiques peuvent être mises en pl ace pour soutenir l’élimination de la faim, l’adaptation et l’atténuation du changement climatique et l’atteinte d’un développement durable global.
