This initiative is part of a larger programme also funded in Cameroon, Kenya, and Rwanda simultaneously. It was designed in support of the Government of the Republic of Malawi’s ambitious target of 4.5 million hectares for restoration under the Bonn Challenge and the AFR100 initiative, and in support of Malawi’s National Forest Landscape Restoration Strategy and National Charcoal Strategy (2017). -

No results found.Diversifying land use of monoculture forestry plantations in land restitution projects is very critical in achieving multipurpose production system. The purpose of this study was to investigate potential land use options desired by land claimant beneficiaries. A random sampling technique was used to select 351 and 170 households’ beneficiaries in Livubu and Tzaneen communities in Limpopo Province, respectively. Data were collected using household questionnaire and focus group discussions. Descriptive analysis, Binary logistic regression and Friedman test were used to analyse data. The study revealed that over 80% of the beneficiaries desired to diversify land use options in both study communities and these potential land use options were found to be linked directly with socio-economic factors. There were significance difference among the potential land-use options for both Livubu (p<0.001) and Tzaneen (p<0.001) communities. Predominate desired land-use option was agriculture and the least was grazing. The findings reflect that the beneficiaries are willing and desire to transform monoculture forest plantation to multifunctional forest plantation. Multifunctional forest plantation such as agroforestry and eco-tourism could help beneficiaries to diversify sources of income, fight poverty, create employment and reduce the dependence on natural forests.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In 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. -

After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
