Promoting the Provision of Legitimate Land Tenure Rights Using VGGT in the Context of National Food Security for conflict-displaced communities, including small‐scale rural farmers, pastoralists, and IDPs in the Greater Darfur region of the Sudan
2019The economy of Greater Darfur is heavily reliant on farming and livestock keeping, with more than 70 percent of the population relying on traditional and subsistence agriculture, the majority of whom are dependent on rain fed agriculture and pasture for both crop and livestock production. On-going conflict in Darfur leads to problems with law and order and displacement of rural farmers, and a change in migration patterns of nomadic pastoralists. Under the current state, neither the government or customary institutions, nor any other actors alone is able to bring a solution to the complex realities of land tenure governance in Darfur. The EULGP CI aims to support the Government of the Sudan in reforming its land laws to develop practical solutions to secure access to and use of cropland, livestock routes, range and pastures including the provision of adequate and practical dispute resolution mechanisms. The intervention also aims to assist state and locality level stakeholders to promote the provision for legitimate land tenure rights to conflict displaced communities including small‐scale rural farmers, pastoralists and IDPs in the Darfur region. *EULGP CI stands for European Union Land Governance Programme – Country Implementation -

Projet d’Amélioration de la Gestion et de la Gouvernance Foncière au Burundi
2020Since 2008, Burundi has been engaged in a land reform process to address the challenges of conflict prevention related to access to land (and other natural resources). Considered precarious and the source of many conflicts, the customary approach to land tenure is gradually being replaced by a decentralized land management system that places the country’s 119 communes at the forefront of the reform. In April 2010, the Government of Burundi adopted a land policy letter providing the main strategic directions of intervention. This led to the promulgation of a new land code in August 2011, which, among other innovations, introduces land certificates issued by communal land services and prohibits any allocation or transfer of public lands prior to the establishment of a land title. Inventory of state lands has become the prerequisite for the implementation of the new land legislation. The reform process is increasingly helping to open up land services authorized by law to issue a “land certificate” after a participatory procedure involving the neighborhood concerned and local officials. It is expected that in the long run, the low cost required to obtain land certificates and the relative speed of the procedure will convince a large majority of Burundians to be under the legal protection of this certificate to enjoy a peaceful possession of their lands. Since August 2017, 50 municipalities (40 percent) had a land service. Land tenure security is also part of the land reform in Burundi, through inventory of public lands and registration of the same. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureEU Transversal support to country implementation - The Niger 2019Population in the Niger lives mainly in rural areas and access to natural resources is their primary source of food and income. Recurring droughts and demographic pressure contributed to an increase in both frequency and intensity of conflicts between rural population, especially farmers and pastoralists. The legislative and regulatory framework is based on the current system of land and natural resource management, which integrates both customary and written law. The objective of the EULGP CI* is to contribute to secure pastoral land systems in the Niger by improving the recognition and taking into account livestock owners' land rights, securing the areas and resources reserved for livestock farming, preventing conflict related to the use of pastoral resources and strengthening the capacity of actions of the structures of the Code Rural in the domain of pastoral land and the development of Land Use Planning. *EULGP CI stands for European Union Land Governance Programme – Country Implementation

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
Book (series)NewsletterSpecial report – 2023 FAO Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM) to the Republic of the Sudan

2024Also available in:
No results found.Between 2 and 17 January 2024, following a request by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MoA&F), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in close cooperation with the Food Security Technical Secretariat (FSTS) and the State Ministries of Agriculture, carried out its annual Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM) to estimate the 2023 crop production and assess the food supply situation throughout the 18 states of the country. The report's recommendations are to provide immediate response to the needs of the population most affected by acute food insecurity as well as to support the recovery of the agriculture sector, increasing food production and farmers’ incomes, and enhancing efficiency along the value chain to reduce production costs.
