A sub-national field assessment of land degradation was conducted in the Kongwa districts of Tanzania in December 2019. 34 sampling plots were selected using a stratified sampling method based on a land cover map.

Ethiopia has made efforts to tackle the challenges of low crop and livestock productivity and degradation of land resources through various rural development strategies.

Lack of accurate information about soil nutrient requirements coupled with limited access to appropriate fertilizers could lead to mismatch between soil nutrient requirements and fertilizer applications.

Rethinking food system policies in terms of “eco-agro-food systems” can help to foster an integrated approach that will maintain and restore vital ecosystem services and reduce the likelihood of future shocks.

In this paper, we study the transformation process Indian agriculture exhibited in the recent past, studying its policy implications.

Managing the policy tensions among higher productivity, rising demand, and deforestation to avoid biodiversity losses and increased greenhouse gas emissions.

This paper investigates the impacts of sustainable land management (SLM) on water security and poverty based on an evaluation of a watershed level SLM program promoted in Amhara regional state of Ethiopia.

The results of this study reveal that the full inclusion of crop production in the forest landscape restoration approach could produce largescale, worldwide benefits for food security and therefore facilitate a wide uptake of restoration practices

Existing approaches and methodologies that investigate effects of land degradation on food security vary greatly.

Для международного сообщества 2015 год стал поворотным моментом.

Land degradation and soil erosion have emerged as serious challenges to smallholder farmers throughout southern Africa.

2015年对国际社会而言是具有分水岭意义的一年。联合国千年发 展目标于2015年到期；自1990年以来，世界各国在实现千年发 展目标方面取得了重大的进展，极端贫困人口、儿童死亡率以及饥 饿人口比例均降低了约一半。然而，我们仍然面临着巨大的挑战。 《2016全球粮食政策报告》综述了影响2015年及未来的食物安全和 营养的主要趋势、事件和变化，并探讨了全球食物系统如何在为进 一步减少饥饿、营养不良和贫困做出最优贡献的同时，确保全球资 源的可持续利用。

El año 2015 marcó un giro decisivo para la comunidad internacional del desarrollo.

كان عام 2015 لحظة فارقة لمجتمع التنمية الدولية. فلقد ابرزت نهاية الاهداف الانمائية للألفية التقدم الملحوظ والمحقق لتلك الاهداف منذ عام 1990 ، حيث انخفضت معدلات الجوع والفقر المدقع ووفيات الأطفال إلى النصف، ومع ذلك تظل هناك تحديات جسيمة.

L’année 2015 a marqué un tournant décisif pour la communauté internationale du développement.

The year 2015 was a watershed moment for the international development community.

In addition to global events and food policy changes, 2015 also saw important developments with potentially wide repercussions in individual countries and regions.

IFPRI’s Flagship Report puts into perspective the major food policy issues, developments, and decisions of 2015 and highlights challenges and opportunities for 2016.

The year 2015 saw a new global commitment to sustainable development that will require a reshaping of the world’s food system.
