The European Union (EU)’s food system is under pressure for reform.

The geographic distribution of natural ecosystems is afected by both climate and cropland.

The number of people living in rural areas of low and middle-income countries is projected to increase in the coming decades. It is in the rural areas of these countries where a large majority of the world’s extreme poor reside.

FAO’s The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report (FAO et al. 2020) emphasizes the gradually increasing trend of hunger, measured by the prevalence of undernourishment, since 2014.

Even before the current global COVID-19 health crisis — whose potential long-term impacts on food systems are still unclear (Béné et al.

En 2050, el 95 % de la superficie terrestre estará degradada. Ya se han erosionado 24 000 millones de toneladas de suelo a causa de la agricultura insostenible (Larbodière et al. 2020).

D’ici 2050, 95 % des terres de la planète subiront une dégradation. Déjà, 24 milliards de tonnes de terres ont été érodées par l’agriculture intensive (Labordière et coll. 2020).

By 2050, 95 percent of Earth’s land will be degraded. Already, 24 billion tons of soil have been eroded by unsustainable agriculture (Larbodière et al. 2020).

Evidence on the effectiveness of a payments for ecosystem services (PES) program in Southern Malawi encouraging the adoption of soil conservation practices, specifically conservation agriculture

Conventional agricultural practices – especially conventional tillage – are a major driver of soil erosion globally.

During the past two decades, a series of global policy changes affecting genetic resource conservation, use, and exchange have entered into force: the 2004 International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA), and mor

The UNFSS Dialogue on Women, Work and Food Systems identified a game-changing solution on management of commons: natural resources that are held and used collectively.

Increasing demands for agricultural commodities are resulting in more intensely managed landscapes. This is at odds with biodiversity conservation and largely ignores farmland biodiversity’s supporting function for high and stable yields.

Despite resulting biodiversity losses, agricultural intensification is key for future food security and slowing expansion of cropland and pasture.  

Higher incomes in developing countries are associated with dietary shifts away from traditional staples towards highly processed foods and foods with higher nutritive value, such as animal source foods (Popkin 2004; Delgado et al. 2001).

It is widely recognized that local management of common pool resources can be more ecient and more e↵ective than private markets or top- own government management, especially in remote rural communities in which the institutions necessary for the

Ecologically-based tactics that control pests, support resilience, safeguard productivity, & help stabilize commodity markets.

This dataset includes a baseline and endline survey from a cluster-randomized sample of households within villages covering the five uppermost Extension Planning Areas (EPAs) in the Shire River Basin in southern Malawi, spanning the districts of B
