No results found.The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on livelihoods, food chain values, income, basic needs and global community health. There is relationship between human and forests, especially the farmers livelihoods who depend on forest resources. This study presents the characteristics of forest farmers and the changes that occur in forest management, harvesting, marketing, institutions and sources of livelihood during the Covid-19 pandemic. Data and information obtained through observation, interviews and secondary data, analyzed descriptively- qualitatively to understand the dynamics of change in forest farmer groups who manage state forest areas and community forests. The results of the research show that the majority of forest farmers have relatively long farming experience, but are not supported by adequate levels of education and expertise. This situation has implications for the ability to adapt and innovate in forest use, so that the performance of forest management, harvesting, marketing, institutions and farmers' livelihoods decreases during the pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic brought significant changes on farmers groups, especially the effectiveness of their institutions, pressure on livelihoods, and a number of variables that experienced a decrease in their rffectiveness. The biggest changes for farmers in state forest areas are caused by the limited choice of utilization and development of plant commodities in accordance with government regulations. Limited options lead to limited sources of livelihood, so that it can have implications for the farmers' welfare where the poverty level of state forest farmers was higher than that of community forest farmers. It requires the regulatory reformulation and the initiation of adaptation strategies through social engineering to overcome the need for strategies and interventions to strengthen farmer institutions, so that forest farmers are more resilient in facing changes during and after Covid-19.

No results found.British colonial approach is still in core of forest management of South East Asia (SEA). However, recent policies of management of forest are incorporating social aspects and considering diverse dimensions of human with various international commitments by conventions and treaties, lead the paradigm shift in forest management of SEA. This study examined century long forestry practices, forest policies, conventions and treaties on forestry, recent job markets, corporate mechanisms and blending knowledge protocols and found a demand existed to refurbish the current curricula of forestry education of SEA. Examining forestry education of Bangladesh as case study focused from its inception to date particularly to expedite the demand of new arena of knowledge on science, social science, indigenous technologies to put forward the students with the current arena of world forestry science to meet the demand of the country. Moreover, knowledge on global change, biodiversity conservation, forest-people conflict management, landscape level restoration rather forest restoration, technological interventions in forest resource monitoring and assessment, invasive species management, carbon management and trading, panel wood and wood processing were found worth for sustainable forest management. Inclusion of stated new knowledge arena for forest science may facilitate readiness of future graduates for sustainable forest management. Due to COVID19 pandemic and post pandemic on line platforms and learning systems for developing nations are crucial and need integrated developed courses for all, may widen the knowledge platform for future. This study also discussed with a view from a developing nation and put forward a bridge on knowledge sharing between developed and developing nations.

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.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
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. -

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.
