Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureCo-developing a community camera trapping programme to deliver benefits of living with wildlife 2022
Also available in:
No results found.In Tanzania, in collaboration with communities impacted by large carnivores such as lions, hyaenas and leopards, this case study highlights how a community camera trapping programme was co-developed between the local communities and the NGO Lion Landscapes to deliver benefits to the local communities living with wildlife. The case study focuses on the Rungwa-Ruaha landscape in Tanzania, which is one of the most important wildlife areas in Africa and it supports one of the world’s largest remaining populations of lions and globally significant populations of African wild dogs, cheetahs, leopards and spotted hyaenas. In 2015, the Ruaha Carnivore Project’s research project initiated a community camera trapping programme to create greater links between community benefits and the presence of wildlife in the area. The camera trapping programme has been successful in two ways: not only has it provided data on the wildlife populations present on village land, but it has also engaged and benefited the community, incentivising conservation. While previously, the villages received benefits from the project, now the villagers recognise that the benefits are received because of the wildlife present on their land. -
ProjectFactsheetPromoting Sustainable Management of Human–Wildlife Conflict and Appropriate Agricultural Practices among Vulnerable Communities in Northern Zimbabwe - GCP/ZIM/032/JPN 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Human wildlife conflict (HWC) arises from the competition between growing populations of humans and wildlife for the same declining resources. Such conflict has proved a major issue in northern Zimbabwe. In Hurungwe District in the province of Mashonaland West, common examples of HWC include livestock predation, crop destruction, human attacks and conflict between farmers and protected area management. The resulting damage can impact food security, livelihoods and health. This project aimed to reduce HWC in target areas of Hurungwe by supporting local communities to implement sustainable methods of deterring wildlife and protecting livestock. At the same time, it sought to increase agricultural production and strengthen resilience by managing disease in livestock and promoting alternative livelihood options based on the sustainable, community based management of natural resources .

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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)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.
