Bolivia’s distinct characteristics and
aspirations are a key for understanding its development
trajectory. Bolivia is one of the countries with the highest
share of indigenous population, representing a tapestry of
different groups with different historical, cultural and

This paper conducts an integrated
assessment of climate change impacts and climate mitigation
on agricultural commodity markets and food availability in
low- and middle-income countries. The analysis uses the
partial equilibrium model GLOBIOM to generate scenarios to

How much do poor rural households rely
on environmental extraction from natural ecosystems? And how
does climate variability impact their livelihoods? This
paper sheds light on these two questions with household
income data from the Poverty and Environment Network

Hacia 1935, la extracción forestal en el oeste de La Rioja y Catamarca continuaba su intensa marcha de más de medio siglo, impulsada en un principio por la Actividad minera y ferroviaria y posteriormente por otras demandas extra-Regionales. A partir de la tercera década del siglo, la agricultura fue perfilándose como la alternativa prioritaria para alcanzar el buscado desarrollo regional.

The major role tropical forests play in
biodiversity and climate change has led the world to search
for effective ways to slow down deforestation. Community
forest management (CFM) is an example of the broader concept
of community-based natural resources management (CBNRM). As

A large number of governance interventions are being developed in order to reduce deforestation and enhance the sustainability of commodity

supply chains across the tropics. The extent to which individual agricultural commodity supply chain interventions can achieve scale, and

Climate change is a core development
challenge in Tanzania, and the potential costs of inaction
are significant. Current climate variability (including
extreme events such as droughts and floods), already leads
to major economic costs in mainland Tanzania and in

Con la soja al cuello reúne información rigurosa y datos concretos sobre lo que implica que el 94% de las tierras cultivables en Paraguay estén ocupadas por cultivos para la exportación.

The E-Newsletter consists of three stories: international experience in seed quality control and certification shared in Georgia; farm registry pilot project in Racha region; world deforestation slows down as more forests are better managed.

Global estimates of forest emission trends show that total emissions have decreased by over 25 percent between the period 2001–2010 and the period 2011–2015. FAO data show that the decrease is due to a decline in deforestation rates globally.

The third fact sheet in the Save and Grow series presents the key points of the Quezungual Slash-and-Mulch Agroforestry System, or QSMAS in Honduras.
