While fire remains an essential traditional land management tool for Indigenous Peoples and smallholders, the challenge lies in managing destructive wildfires while preserving beneficial controlled fire practices. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with seed funding from the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Regional Identity of Germany (BMEL), established the Global Fire Management Hub (Fire Hub) to lead a paradigm shift from fire suppression to the holistic approach of Integrated Fire Management (IFM).Launched at the Eighth International Wildland Fire Conference in May 2023, the Fire Hub convened key partners, including the Global Fire Monitoring Center (GFMC), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), other United Nations (UN) agencies, and numerous regional and national organizations. Its goal is to enhance countries’ capacities to implement IFM to reduce the negative impacts of wildfires on livelihoods, landscapes and global climate stability. Through technical workshops, capacity building and knowledge sharing, the Fire Hub and partners discussed its implementation and operationalization. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPicturing progress – Four betters in focus 2025This commemorative volume marks the 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), tracing its journey from a founding conviction – that hunger is not inevitable – to today’s global mission of transforming agrifood systems. Through a rich collection of photographs and narratives, the book illustrates how FAO works alongside farmers, fishers, scientists, governments, Indigenous Peoples, youth and civil society to advance sustainable solutions that nourish both people and planet.Organized around FAO’s vision of the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life – the book highlights concrete progress: from regenerative farming and climate-smart livestock, to school feeding programmes, land restoration and inclusive digital innovation. It reflects on both the challenges and the opportunities facing agrifood systems, including climate volatility, conflict and inequality, while showing how collaboration, knowledge and innovation create pathways for resilience and hope.Arriving at a moment of reflection and renewal, this volume is both tribute and testimony: to the millions of people whose daily efforts sustain our world, and to FAO’s enduring commitment to building sustainable, inclusive and equitable agrifood systems that leave no one behind.
