World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

A healthy viable multifunctional landscape has the capability of supporting sustainable agricultural productivity, providing agroforestry and forest products (timber, fuel wood, fruits, medicine, fertilizer, gum etc.) for the sustenance of mankind while providing other environmental services. However these products are increasingly becoming unavailable due to declining soil fertility, climatic extremes, and high costs of inputs. Identifying low-cost, sustainable ways to attain food security and sustainable environment for millions of smallholder farmers in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) remains a major developmental challenge.

Government organizations need to serve farmer clients in more interdisciplinary and participatory ways Re-orient agriculture and rural development programmes to promote and nurture active participation of farmers and their organizations Target the production chain: GAP-LWM productivity + food quality  markets  health and nutrition Participatory research and support services to facilitate transition from conventional agriculture to GAP-LWM Restructure inappropriate macro-economic and agricultural policies Adopt policies that promote and enforce sustainable and productive land and water use through GAP protocols Protect the integrity of agricultural families – land tenure, build on indigenous knowledge, promote youth in agriculture, reduce labour/drudgery Adjust legislation to facilitate initiatives of local groups adopting GAP (help meet their needs)

There’s been little consensus on applying ‘landscape approaches’ and ‘ecosystem approaches’: general principles and guidelines have been largely missing. This presentation gives an overview of work by CIFOR and partners in refining ‘landscape approaches’ and gives ten principles for a landscape approach at the nexus of agriculture, conservation, and other competing land uses. CIFOR scientist Terry Sunderland gave this presentation during Tree Diversity Day, held on 11 October 2012 at the 11th Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP11). Tree Diversity Day was organised by the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry. For more information visit www.worldagroforestry.org/crp6/events/tree-diversity-day-cbd-cop11

How have forests changed? Results from FRA 2015

FAO

FAO has been monitoring the world's forests at 5 to 10 year intervals since 1946. The Global Forest Resources Assessments (FRA) are now produced every five years in an attempt to provide a consistent approach to describing the world's forests and how they are changing. The Assessment is based on two primary sources of data: Country Reports prepared by National Correspondents and remote sensing that is conducted by FAO together with national focal points and regional partners. The scope of the FRA has changed regularly since the first assessment published in 1948. These assessments make an interesting history of global forest interests, both in terms of their substantive content, but also in their changing scope. This presentation provides a summary of the FRA 2015 edition. ©FAO
