The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration provides a unique opportunity to transform food, fibre and feed production systems to the needs of the 21st century, and to eradicate poverty, hunger and malnutrition. This report presents the case for why we all must throw our weight behind a global restoration effort. Drawing on the latest scientific evidence, it explains the crucial role played by ecosystems from forests and farmland to rivers and oceans, and charts the losses that result from our poor stewardship of the planet. The UN Decade runs from 2021 through 2030 and is led by the United Nations Environment Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Like many other economies in transition, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan face the dual challenge of promoting development and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and ruminant systems are central for achieving both goals. This study found that enteric methane and manure management are the predominant sources of emissions from cattle systems; however, the study found that regions with high GHG emissions from the cattle systems also had the highest soil carbon stocks. This is mainly due to the high apportion of carbon into the soil from manure and organic amendments. Thus, in these regions, tailored practices could likely reduce GHG emissions through practices that can increase organic carbon storage. This project was the first step in understanding the role of ruminants through advanced GHG accounting methods and serve as a basis for these countries to take on larger climate investment projects and catalyse climate action through sustainable livestock development.

Cette note de politique générale met en évidence la contribution économique du pastoralisme au niveau national, non seulement par la production et la vente de produits d'origine animale, mais aussi par l'autoconsommation des ménages. Elle présente les principaux besoins et défis auxquels sont confrontées les familles qui pratiquent cette activité au Tchad et souligne la nécessité pour les organisations locales de la société civile de collecter et de gérer les données relatives à ce secteur, ouvrant ainsi la voie au plaidoyer pour des politiques fondées sur des données probantes.

Este documento da cuenta de cuál es el impacto económico del pastoreo a nivel nacional no solo mediante los ingresos obtenidos a través del mercado sino también del autoconsumo de los hogares. A su vez presenta las principales necesidades y desafíos que enfrentan las familias que llevan a cabo esta práctica en Argentina y destaca la necesidad de que las orga-nizaciones locales de la sociedad civil puedan recopilar y gestionar datos relevantes para el sector.

This video presents 5 scenarios of pastoralism in local development, built through a participative expertise by FAO and partners (CIRAD, ISRA and local organizations) in Burkina-Faso and Togo in 2019-2020. The participative territorial foresight provides decision makers with an innovative tool for dialog. 5 scenarios are described: Ideal, Oasis in the desert, Local crisis, Limited hope, Transhumance in spite of everything. Local stake- holders work together to make concrete proposal to their decision makers. Through a holistic understanding of the territory, they can move towards cross-border local development and achieve the objective of efficient territorial governance in order to live in harmony.

The following meeting report "Boosting Koronivia in the livestock sector" is part of a webinar series and is related to the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) topic 2(e) Improved livestock management systems including agro-pastoral production systems and others. The objectives of the online workshops were to:
a) discuss the opportunities for livestock systems to be considered in national climate action, whilst at the same time enhancing livestock’s contribution to food and nutrition security, resilience and livelihoods; and b) exchange ideas and experiences on the best use of the KJWA outputs and roadmap to assist countries in including livestock targets in the national plans and actions.
