Synopsis (short abstract) There is increasing evidence that natural resources, land and water in particular, are rapidly shrinking and this combines with an increasing demographic trends as well as with more competitive claims for these resources by a variety of agricultural and non agricultural actors. Whilst the lack of adequate and secure access to land and other natural resources by food insecure and marginalized people is one of the critical aspects of hunger and poverty in the world, there is also a critical dimens ion related to the planned use and management of the resources that needs to be tackled with an equity orientation focus. This is because equity orientation is one of the critical aspects of hunger and inequality in the world. To foster equity, the critical point to be addressed is the increasing asymmetries of power amongst different actors acting at different scales. A negotiated and inclusive approach to these territories does represent a possible way to address these issues. This document bu ilds on the contents of some previous work done by FAO at normative and field level and aims at contribute to the implementation phase of the Voluntary Guidelines for the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries, and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) program.

Territorial markets: facilitating access to healthy diets 2022

Also available in:

Markets are at the core of food systems. As the interface between production and consumption, their improvement is therefore critical to ensuring more sustainable food systems, and facilitating access to healthy and diversified diets. Markets that are embedded in territorial food systems, or territorial markets, represent key retail outlets for consumer access to food – especially fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and meat, and staple foods. For consumers in developing countries in particular, territorial markets, both formal and informal, are the main point of access for these and other foods – not only in rural areas but also in urban settlements. Despite their importance however, data on territorial markets – such as the availability of food groups, food retailers and consumer profiles – are rarely included in national data collection systems; as a result, these markets are often neglected in development strategies and policies. This brochure presents the global initiative to map territorial markets, as developed and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
