    In this last issue of the newsletter for 2011, we introduce a new study on corruption in the land sector. The study was carried out by FAO and the Berlinbased Transparency International and it illustrates that the land sector is one of the main public sector areas where corruption exists. In climate change news, the world’s attention is focused on Durban, South Africa where the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change – including FAO - are meeting this month. And finally, we take a look at a new publication that examines the need to better link climate change adaptation and mitigation policies and programmes to genetic resources objectives.

    Right to adequate food
    Strategic Objective 1 brief - major area of work

    The right to food is centered on the individual. It leads to a reconsideration of the root causes of hunger and malnutrition. As such, it goes further than considering WHAT the problem is by analyzing WHY it is happening. Hence, it raises questions such as what are the underlying reasons that people still suffer from poverty and hunger in a world of plenty? Or, why do public policies fail to reach and be beneficial to the poorest and most vulnerable in society? And, why do discrimination and the lack of legal protection still persist?
