满足日益增长的粮食需求在世界范围内给水、土地和土壤资源造成压力。农业可为减轻这些压力贡献力量，助力实现气候和发展目标。可持续农业模式能够直接改善土地、土壤和水资源状况，产生生态系统惠益，减少土地来源的排放。实现上述目标需要精准的信息，更需要我们大刀阔斧地改革资源管理模式；此外还需要自然资源管理范畴之外的补充力量，以便协同增效，权衡取舍。 2021年版《世界粮食和农业土地及水资源状况》旨在介绍土地和水资源现状，着重指出风险，梳理相关机遇和挑战。此外，报告还强调了适当政策、机制与投资的重要作用。近期开展的评估、预测和情境分析表明，水土资源消耗加速，生物多样性损失愈加严峻。2021年版《土地及水资源状况》着重分析了土地、土壤和水资源的相关风险和发展趋势，提出了解决用户竞争、实现预期惠益的途径。报告介绍了最新的知识内容，提出了一整套应对措施和行动，可以帮助决策者做出合理决策，推动由退化和脆弱转向可持续和韧性发展。

Empowerment is the “expansion of people’s ability to make strategic life choices” (Kabeer, 1999). According to the UN, women’s empowerment has five components: women’s sense of self-worth; their right to have and to determine choices; their right to have access to opportunities and resources; their right to have the power to control their own lives, both within and outside the home; and their ability to influence the direction of social change to create a more just social and economic order, nationally and internationally (FAO, 2017). The process of empowerment rests on enabling social conditions including social norms and legislative action [...]

The document summarizes the report that, based on a review of more than 250 studies, demonstrates the importance and urgency of climate action to protect the forests of the indigenous and tribal territories of Latin America as well as the indigenous and tribal peoples who protect them.

That's 14% of the carbon stored in tropical forests around the world; These territories are also home to an enormous diversity of wild fauna and flora and play a key role in stabilizing the local and regional climate.Based on an analysis of the [...]

The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2020 as the International Year of Plant Health (IYPH) to raise global awareness on how protecting plants from pests and diseases can help end hunger, reduce poverty, protect the environment, and boost economic development. The IYPH final report presents the key outcomes and achievements of the Year, and highlights its main legacies.

The overarching objective of this report was to determine, from current evidence and experiences from the region, a view of co-management application and performance. Among the findings of the review are: (1) Co-management is associated with positive trends across a range of social, ecological and governance indicators; (2) While overall trends in co-management performance are positive, between years the outcomes experienced by fishers and community members vary substantially between positive experiences and improvements and negative experiences and declines; (3) There is substantial variation in the systems to which co-management is applied and the degrees of inclusion, agency, influence and authority of [...]
