2014Welcome to FAO’s e-bulletin on the post-2015 development agenda. In this issue, we bring you news of a side event organised by the UN Rome-based agencies on financing SDG2 ahead of July’s Third International Conference on Financing for Development. Rural actors and agents of change are the focus of a feature article and photo gallery. Boubaker Ben-Belhassen, FAO post-2015 focal point, writes on the comprehensive approach to food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture of SDG2. We present a booklet listing 100 facts linking people, food and the planet, and, in the international year of soils, deliver a story-video-infographic package on the natural resource’s links to sustainable development. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of the World's Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture (SOLAW)
Managing systems at risk
2011This edition of The State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture presents objective and comprehensive information and analyses on the current state, trends and challenges facing two of the most important agricultural production factors: land and water. Land and water resources are central to agriculture and rural development, and are intrinsically linked to global challenges of food insecurity and poverty, climate change adaptation and mitigation, as well as d egradation and depletion of natural resources that affect the livelihoods of millions of rural people across the world. Current projections indicate that world population will increase from 6.9 billion people today to 9.1 billion in 2050. In addition, economic progress, notably in the emerging countries, translates into increased demand for food and diversified diets. World food demand will surge as a result, and it is projected that food production will increase by 70 percent in t he world and by 100 percent in the developing countries. Yet both land and water resources, the basis of our food production, are finite and already under heavy stress, and future agricultural production will need to be more productive and more sustainable at the same time. -
