UNFSS Science Days Side Event: Promise of the commons for sustainable and equitable food systems
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.
Changing demand for animal source foods and their effects on the provision of ecosystem services
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).
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.
