The policy brief presents a short summary of a study from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) that used an integrated irrigation-energy planning framework to identify groundwater irrigation development potentials in Ethiopia u

Safe and secure access to drinking water and sanitation are human rights that are vital to social, economic, and environmental wellbeing.

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:

Los efectos del cambio climático ya se están produciendo en todo el mundo, desde sequías hasta inundaciones, pasando por temperaturas perjudiciales y la subida del nivel del mar.

Les impacts du changement climatique se manifestent déjà sur toute la planète – sécheresses, inondations, canicules aux conséquences délétères, et élévation du niveau de la mer.

Se están produciendo rápidas transformaciones en los sistemas alimentarios de todo el mundo, lo que está teniendo importantes consecuencias económicas, sanitarias y medioambientales.

Les systèmes alimentaires se transforment rapidement dans le monde entier, engendrant des répercussions économiques, sanitaires et environnementales considérables.

Customary pastoral tenure and governance systems are relatively broad sets of institutions characterized by principles of collectivity, flexibility, adaptability, and multiple uses by multiple users (Davies et al. 2016; Flintan et al. 2021).

The impacts of climate change are already occurring across the globe, from droughts to floods, damagingly high temperatures, and sea-level rise.

Rapid transformations are occurring in food systems around the world with significant economic, health, and environmental implications.

Water is an essential resource for all life, but is extremely difficult to manage productively, sustainably and equitably.

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.

Access to sufficient and clean freshwater is essential for all life. Water is also essential for food system functioning: as a key input into food production, but also in processing and preparation, and as a food itself.

What are the drivers and consequences of tenure insecurity?

The challenges posed by the water–food–energy nexus have been well documented.

The challenge to produce more food to meet the growing world demand requires a careful, integrated and global approach, to secure the efficient use of land, water and energy at the global level, aimed at increasing productivity and food supply wit

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.
