Technical brief 2025
2025Also available in:
No results found.Despite major achievements to uphold the international human rights frameworks and the reinforced legal protection of Indigenous Peoples as a historically marginalized group, their rights continue to be threatened worldwide despite being enshrined in the 1989 ILO Convention 169 and the 2007 UNDRIP. While international frameworks affirm Indigenous Peoples’ rights, their implementation and protection at the national level often fall short. This growing gap between international commitments and national implementation, driven by legal obstacles, data invisibility, lack of political will, and continued violations of collective land and territorial rights undermines Indigenous Peoples’ right to food.Indigenous Peoples’ right to food cannot be ensured without holding states and corporations accountable for the violations of Indigenous Peoples’ rights, including FPIC. It cannot be ensured without recognizing their sovereignty, identity, their special relationship with their lands, territories and natural resources, as well as the relevance of Indigenous Peoples’ food and knowledge systems as holistic systems that integrate the food triad (right to food, food security and food sovereignty).This policy brief reviews developments over the past two decades, assesses the persisting challenges for Indigenous Peoples to feed themselves with dignity, and clarifies the specific content of the right to food for Indigenous Peoples, emphasizing its collective nature and cultural dimension as key distinctive features. It calls for human rights-based policy actions to overcome persisting challenges to the realization of Indigenous Peoples’ right to adequate food. It also explores how the violations of Indigenous Peoples’ collective and individual rights, affects the realization of their right to adequate food.

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.

Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.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. -
