No results found.The Facilitation Unit (FU) will serve as the secretariat for the Alliance and will help Alliance members take action to deliver the Alliance’s aspirational outcomes. For guidance and programmatic and budget planning purposes, the FU will report to the co-Chairs of the Strategic Committee (SC) of the Alliance, while complying to the administrative processes of its hosting organization, FAO, under the supervision of the FAO Deputy Director General, Coordinator for Natural Resources. Functions and activities of the Unit will be scaled in accordance with available funding and in-kind support provided by Members (including secondments). Any needed adjustments to these TORs will be made by written agreement with the Strategic Committee. -

GACSA Series Document 1 (GACSA1)
2014Also available in:
No results found.This Framework Document describes the formation of a Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture (hereafter “the Alliance”) which seeks to improve people’s food security and nutrition in the face of climate change. The Alliance will help governments, farmers, scientists, businesses, and civil society, as well as regional unions and international organizations, to adjust agricultural, forestry and fisheries practices, food systems and social policies so that they better take account of climate change and the efficient use of natural resources. Members will work toward sustainable increases in the productivity of food systems, by a sustainable management of natural resources – including soil, water and biodiversity, the adaptation of people’s livelihoods that are threatened by climate change, and agricultural practices that contribute to reduced emissions and less deforestation/land degradation as a result of agriculture. The Alliance will enable governments and other stakeholders to m ake these transformations in ways that bridge traditional sectoral, organizational and public/private boundaries. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAquatic biodiversity in Rice-Based Ecosystems
Studies and reports from Indonesia, Lao PDR and the Philippines
2014Also available in:
No results found.This report contains the assessments of availability and use of aquatic organisms in rice ecosystems conducted in late 2013 in four sites in Indonesia (three in West Java and one in Bali), three sites in Xieng Khouang Province in Lao People’s Democratic Republic and four sites in three provinces on Luzon Island in the Philippines. A standard methodology was applied in conducting the assessments. The documentation was made of the animal and plant organisms found in the study sites and being colle cted by the people, the methods and tools to capture or gather them, and their uses as food, medicine and for other purposes. Local people have generally acknowledged a general decline in the abundance and diversity of the species. Factors included the intensification of rice cultivation accompanied by the use of chemical inputs, increasing exploitation driven by population increase and in some cases a high market demand for some species, and destructive fishing. Recommendations range from expan ding the study period to observe biodiversity changes during other seasons of the year, locally tailored management measures using the study sites as pilot areas, national policy that protect the ricefield ecosystem biodiversity and enhance their flow of services, extending the assessment to the value chain of the species which have an increasing market demand, to institutional arrangements and collaboration between national, regional and international agencies and organizations. Awareness raisi ng of the value of the products and services of ricefield ecosystems and capacity building for communities and government agencies for management of the ecosystem were strongly recommended. This was taken one step further in Lao PDR where a small pilot project was undertaken with the Department of Livestock and Fisheries, to develop improved methodologies for integrating work on the valuation of aquatic resources into local policy development processes. This included the development of local cap acity and demonstrated that a facilitated process of collaboration between local communities and local government agricultural extension officers, can successfully influence local policy and establish institutional mechanisms to sustain this work at both local and national levels. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookIntegrating forest and landscape restoration into national forest monitoring systems 2021
Also available in:
This document, based on the Voluntary Guidelines on national forest monitoring (VGNFM), provides a series of good practices organised into sixteen steps to facilitate the integration of the monitoring process to officers responsible for forest and landscape restoration (FLR) and the national forest monitoring system (NFMS). An inter-institutional work is proposed with key stakeholders to discuss the new information needs according to the approach and modalities of FLR implementation. Based on these needs, indicators, metrics, and monitoring attributes are organised.
