LAND-at-scale remains active in Chad with partners Oxfam, Kadaster International and FAO. The partners work together to develop and test innovative approaches, tools and instruments for land governance in a fit for purpose way. These pilots will be done in two locations, which will contribute to a more transparent and inclusive land management system locally.
The policy brief, one of four briefs on the agrarian transition in the Mekong region, explores initiatives and pathways forward to recognise customary tenure arrangements and rights over forest areas in the region. More than 70 million people in the region depend on forest areas but lack formal legal rights to use, manage, and benefit from them.
Produite dans le cadre de l’école de chercheurs organisée au Sénégal par IPAR, le pôle foncier de Montpellier et l’Université Gaston Berger avec l’appui du CTFD, cette fiche pédagogique fait le point sur les instruments directs et indirects qui peuvent être mobilisés pour réguler les marchés fonciers.
Countries face severe local and global climate risks with grave social, economic, and environmental costs. Given a significant portion of global emissions are a result of agriculture, forestry, and other land-based investments, governments can mitigate climate risks by ensuring these investments contribute to, rather than undermine, national and global climate goals.
La presente memoria ha sido preparada con el fin de documentar los principales hallazgos, recomendaciones y lecciones aprendidas derivados del ciclo de aprendizaje regional “Lecciones Aprendidas para la Inversión en Delimitación y Reconocimiento de Territorios Indígenas y Afrodescendientes de América Latina”, organizado por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricu
Antibiotics have revolutionised medicine in the last century and enabled the prevention of bacterial infections that were previously deemed untreatable. However, in parallel, bacteria have increasingly developed resistance to antibiotics through various mechanisms.
Context and background:
Gender inequality persists in Burundi’s agricultural sector, especially in the bean value chain dominated by women. Women often have less access to improved seeds and to productive technologies. Interventions dubbed “gender-responsive plant breeding†have been launched to develop new varieties to address the gender gaps in variety adoption.
Solar-powered groundwater irrigation is expanding exponentially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), creating opportunities and risks. In South Asia, more than 500,000 small stand-alone pumps have already been installed (see the figure). In Sub-Saharan Africa, solar pumps are gaining traction to expand food production and alleviate poverty.
A wealth of publicly available satellite data and open-source models allowed researchers to measure carbon stocks in a watershed in India, despite a paucity of on-the-ground data. They found that despite rapid urbanization over the last 20 years, carbon stocks remained relatively stable – possibly due to successful reforestation activities.
