ArticleJournal articleImpact of capacity building in leveraging community skills and livelihoods: lessons learned from social forestry in Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Indonesia encounters several challenges in forest management due to the high communities’ demand for forest resources, including the need for agricultural land within state-owned forest areas. Community Based Forest Management (CBFM) is a strategy that emphasizes on the importance of community’s involvement in forest conservation. CBFM planning has an important role in the implementation of effective and sustainable forest management through a participatory approach involving all parties in Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling. This paper aims to provide information on impact of capacity building in leveraging community skill and livehood in three schemes of Social Forestry (SF) in Indonesia, namely Paru Village Forest (VF)–West Sumatra, Cempaka Forestry Partnership (FP)–Lampung, and Tuar Tana Community Forestry (CF)–East Nusa Tenggara, in collaboration between Forestry and Environment Research, Development and Innovation Agency with the Asian Forest Cooperation Organization (AFoCO). The research was conducted through structured interviews, FGDs and field observations by an analysis unit while the informations obtained were analyzed through descriptively qualitative and quantitative methods. The results showed that the provided assistances and capacity building in three SF schemes have increased the active participation of group members in the preparation of technical plans and implementation of economic value species planting and processing of non-timber forest products (NTFPs).Other benefits are the reduced land boundary conflicts, an increase in the frequency of routine group meetings, an increase in the number of members who are able to process NTFPs into semi-finished or finished goods. This condition shows that the provided assistance is able to increase the capacity of farmers so as to change the perceptions and attitudes of group members and encourage them to actively participate in forest management in three SF area.

ArticleJournal articleIntensity and embeddedness: Two dimensions of equity approaches in multi-stakeholder forums
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Multi-stakeholder forums (MSFs) have been positioned as a transformative solution for more sustainable decision-making in forestry, land use, and climate change interventions. Yet, there is much criticism about the possibility of these forums to address the power inequalities that frame interactions between different stakeholders to forests and their resources. Based on a systematic search of cases in the scholarly literature, we present a new approach to examining how MSFs organised at the jurisdictional level to deal with unsustainable land and resource use in forests address equity issues. We engage with MSFs from two key characteristics: the degree to which an MSF includes local peoples as part of a forest-landscape solution (its intensity), and the degree to which the MSF and its outcomes are part of the societal and institutional fabric of a given area (its embeddedness). The reason for focusing on these aspects is simple yet important: we propose that an MSF’s long-term resilience and success, and potential to promote equitable change is impeded if local peoples are not regarded as key partners and change-makers (rather than ‘beneficiaries’), and if the forum and/or its outcomes are not meaningfully institutionalized. Intensity and embeddedness are useful analytical tools that go beyond typologies that identify characteristics found in successful MSFs. These tools are helpful in terms of explaining how different approaches across different contexts function as classifying MSFs as either top-down, bottom-up, or a combination of both is not particularly useful. We also provide practical lessons from cases under different combinations of intensity and embeddedness.

ArticleJournal articleStand biomass and carbon stock of bamboo gigantochloa nigrociliata (Buse) kurz on community plantations, Bali, Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.Bamboo is essential ecologically and has a significant role in community livelihood in Indonesia, especially Bali. Tabah bamboo (Gigantochloa nigrociliata Buse-Kurz) is one of the bamboo species that grows in Bali. Communities in Gianyar and Tabanan Districts, with the support PT Bank CIMB Niaga Tbk – KEHATI foundation begin cultivating Tabah bamboo as efforts for biodiversity preservation and economic value-added. Currently, it is widely acknowledged that biodiversity and climate change are interrelated. Efforts to preserve Tabah bamboo through the cultivation it supports give a prominent contribution to mitigation and adaptation of climate change. An assessment of potential carbon stocks on Tabah bamboo was carried out in Gianyar and Tabanan Districts using non-destructive and destructive sampling methods to determine its carbon stock. The non-destructive measurement was carried out to 100 clumps from five planting locations, while the destructive sampling was carried out for 14 bamboo culms. Bamboo culms were sampled based on maturity, divided into saplings, young bamboo, and mature bamboo. Tabah bamboo has an organic carbon content of ± 45.61% of its biomass, which results in the average carbon stock amounted to ±33.7 kg C/clumps in Gianyar District and ± 29.7 kg/clumps in Tabanan District. These carbon stocks are equivalent to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that is absorbed and stored as 124 kg CO2-e/clumps and 109 kg CO2-e/clumps in Gianyar and Tabanan Districts, respectively. Not only contributing to the environment, cultivating Tabah bamboo also provides direct economic benefits.Keywords: community, economic, climate change, Tabah bamboo characteristics, carbon stockID: 3486626

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. -

Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
