    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This is a general project leaflet containing key factual information and short background about the objectives and outputs of the project ‘’Enhancing Land Consolidation in North Macedonia’’ - a follow-up initiative of the successful "Mainstreaming of the National Land Consolidation Programme" (MAINLAND) project. Building directly on the results of the MAINLAND project, this project assists the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy to further enhance land consolidation in North Macedonia by improving the national policy, institutional and regulatory framework on land consolidation (including the development of a new National Strategy for Land Consolidation for the period 2022-2030 with an Action Plan) and the full-fledged implementation of land consolidation projects in two project areas - Dabjani (Municipality of Dolneni) and Chiflik (Municipality of Chesinovo-Obleshevo), combined with construction of agricultural infrastructure. The Project budget is EUR 1.2 million, financed from the European Union Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA II) 2019 (EUR 1 million) and a FAO contribution (EUR 0.2 million). The project will be implemented over a period of 42 months, starting from August 2022 until January 2026.

    Udhëzues ligjor për konsolidimin e tokës
    Bazuar në praktikat rregullative në Evropë
    2022
    Konsolidimi i tokës është instrument tejet i efektshëm i menaxhimit të tokës që mundëson përmirësimin e strukturës së pronave bujqësore dhe fermave, çfarë e ngrit efikasitetin ekonomik dhe social të tyre dhe u sjell dobi si bartësve të të drejtave, ashtu edhe shoqërisë në përgjithësi. Meqë konsolidimi i tokës i jep qarkullim pronësisë së tokës dhe të drejtave të tjera të tokës, ai po ashtu e mundëson ndarjen e zonave të reja me destinime të veçanta përveç bujqësisë, si për shembull për infrastrukturë publike apo mbrojtje dhe restaurim të natyrës. Nga përvoja me projektet në shtetet anëtare FAO ka mësuar se instrumentet e konsolidimit të tokës e bëjnë të domosdoshme një rregullore ligjore të shtjelluar në mënyrë të thukët dhe të integruar në kornizën ligjore kombëtare. Konsolidimi i tokës është procedurë e rregulluar me ligj që udhëhiqet nga një organ publik dhe që përdoret për ta përshtatur strukturën e pronave në zonat rurale përmes një rindarjeje gjithëpërfshirëse të parcelave, të bashkërenduar midis pronarëve dhe shfrytëzuesve të tokave, për ta reduktuar copëzimin e tokave, për ta lehtësuar zgjerimin e fermave dhe/ose për t'i arritur objektivat e tjera publike, përfshirë restaurimin e natyrës dhe ndërtimin e infrastrukturës. Ky udhëzues ligjor ofron udhëzime të hollësishme lidhur me çështjet legjislative që kanë të bëjnë me konsolidimin e tokës në mënyra që përputhen me Udhëzimet Vullnetare për Qeverisjen e Përgjegjshme të Zotërimit të Tokës, Peshkatarisë dhe Pyjeve në kontekstin e Sigurisë Kombëtare të Ushqimit dhe të drejtës ndërkombëtare për të drejtat e njeriut. Ai përqendrohet në konsolidimin e tokës në zonat rurale dhe bazohet në praktikat e mira legjislative rajonale në konsolidimin e tokës në Evropë.

    Experiences with land consolidation and land banking in Central and Eastern Europe after 1989 2015
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This paper reviews the experiences of introducing land consolidation and land banking instruments in Central and Eastern Europe, largely to address the structural problems of small and fragmented farms. The introduction has been uneven with some countries having established operational programmes while others have taken steps with differing levels of success, and a few have not taken action. The paper assesses the driving factors for the introduction and the approaches used in individual countri es.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also 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.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    In 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.
