The brief focuses on the achievements of the following three global biodiversity targets from the CBD post-2020 framework (CBD/WG2020/3/3), by 2030 and 2050:

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).

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.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals were established to build a better and more sustainable future for all.

This report examines six agricultural production and processing opportunities for rural areas: horticulture irrigation, grain milling, injera baking, milk cooling, bread baking, and coffee washing.

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).

The limited access to water the during dry season or a drought greatly restricts farming opportunities and productivity increases in Sub-Saharan Africa. Irrigation can thus be a promising solution to boost levels of agricultural productivity.

Findings highlight the need for greater attention to the challenges posed to agriculture in the CDZ by a changing climate, but they also show that farmers and the communities of which they are part are capable of adapting to these pressures.

In this research highlight, we present analysis of agricultural land use, distribution, access, tenure, land markets, and historical patterns of ownership and disposal.

Traditional practices of maintaining indigenous biodiversity are in danger as a result of stresses caused by climate change and human activities.

Africa has long needed to significantly and sustainably intensify its smallholder agriculture. But achieving large-scale, sustainable increases in productivity is a complex process.

The issue brief for the 2013 Global Hunger Index (GHI) report—the eighth in an annual series—presents a multidimensional measure of national, regional, and global hunger.

Der Bericht zum Welthunger-Index 2013 – der achte in einer jährlich erscheinenden Serie – stellt die Entwicklung des weltweiten, regionalen und nationalen Hungers mittels eines mehrdimensionalen Indexwertes dar.

Agriculture is the main source of employment and income for southern Africa’s rural population. This crucial economic activity is endangered by climate change.

Synopsis of the book East african agriculture and climate change: A comprehensive analysis

Agriculture is vital to livelihoods in West Africa.

Water scarcity is an increasingly critical issue for food production around the world.

"Nanotechnology is research and development that involves measuring and manipulating matter at the atomic, molecular, and supramolecular levels at scales measured in approximately 1 to 100 nanometers (nm) in at least one dimension.”
