land governance
Changing and competing land use, where we make use of a growing share of resources, potentially undermines the capacity of forests to provide multiple functions such as timber, biodiversity, recreation and pasture lands. The governance challenge is thus to manage trade-offs between human needs and, at the same time, maintain the capacities of forests to provide us with these needs. Sweden provides a clear example of this kind of challenge. Traditionally, timber has been the most apparent contribution of the forest to Swedish national interests.

În această lucrare se descrie starea actuală a fragmentării funciare al gospodăriilor ţărăneşti din Republica Moldova şi efectele pe care le are aceasta asupra bunăstării familiilor rurale şi a productivităţii exploataţiilor agricole. Ipoteza de bază înaintată este dacă consolidarea terenurilor agricole va avea efecte benefice asupra productivităţii şi dacă această este binevenită pe termen lung. În acest context, se va examina consolidarea în baza principiilor economiei de piaţă, utilizând informaţia obţinută din mai multe studii de teren recent efectuate.

Increasing women’s access to land is crucial to fight hunger and poverty. However, gender disparities in land access remain significant in most countries, regardless of their level of development. A new FAO database helps to understand the factors that prevent women from accessing land; and to design better policies to effectively address this situation.

Indigenous peoples1 must be considered an undeniable stakeholder in a development agenda shaped by such a mandate. Recent estimates indicate that although indigenous peoples make up approximately 5 percent of the world’s total population, they comprise about 15 percent of the global poor.2 The adversities faced by indigenous peoples have grown in the last few decades, but so too have the recognition of and appreciation for their potential contributions to sustainable development and natural resources management.
