The Book of the month biologico che quest’anno è giunto alla 25° edizione e, come sempre, è curato da Rosa Maria Bertino, Achille e Emanuele Mingozzi ed edito da Bio Bank. Quest’anno il tema centrale della guida è “Non c’è Bio senza Trend”, cioè come il biologico abbia la capacità di anticipare i tempi e posizionarsi in testa a tutte le principali tendenze di mercato. Lo dimostrano le 10 storie di imprenditoria bio raccontate come da tradizione nella prima parte dell’annuario: c’è il produttore di Parmigiano Reggiano bio che rispetta la biodiversità, l’azienda che realizza pasta di legumi da filiera interamente italiana e chi produce pomodoro etico senza sfruttamento.

Nelle 10 storie raccontate su Tutto Bio 2019 si specchiano e si incrociano molti dei 20 Trend del Bio delineati su Vetrina Bio Bank 2019: Biodinamico, Veg, Senza, RiccoDi, DeGustibus, Origine, CibiFermentati, Antiage, Etico, AntiSpreco, Sostenibile, FattoinCasa.

FAO: Empowering young agri-entrepreneurs Youth are the future of food security. With an agricultural sector characterized by an ageing labour force, involving youth in agriculture is a pressing challenge. Yet, few young people see a place for themselves in agriculture due to challenges such as inadequate access to land, credit and markets. In addition, they are affected by high unemployment rates and often migrate from rural areas looking for better opportunities.

FAO works with different stakeholders to empower youth to engage in responsible investment in agriculture, following the CFS Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems. This is done by creating institutional, policy and incentive frameworks that account for the needs of youth, as well as equipping young agri-entrepreneurs with the skills they need to make their businesses thrive. The following publications have been designed to facilitate this process.

In each Strategic Direction, four Key Initiatives provide a framework around which we can all develop actions to strengthen our field and achieve our vision.

The International Federation of Librar y Associations and Institutions is unique. Thanks to the reach of its membership, the breadth of its mission, and its ability to inspire, engage, enable and connect, it has a special role in the global library field.

IFLA works both to represent libraries on the world stage, and to strengthen the ability of our member associations, institutions, and individuals to advocate for and deliver library and information services that improve lives.

We do this by bringing together the biggest brains trust in the library field – the 1200 volunteers drawn from our members who participate in IFLA’s Professional Units – as well as a dedicated team at IFLA Headqurters, and a network of regional offices and language centres which allow us to operate in seven languages.

Our Strategy: A Roadmap for the Future This document represents a milestone in IFLA’s journey from Vision to Strategy to Action. It is the result of a uniquely inclusive process – the IFLA Global Vision – launched in March 2017.

By engaging tens of thousands of library and information workers from over 190 countries in a conversation about the strengths and opportunities of the library field, the Vision has provided the energy, and represented the guiding star for this Strategy.

On this basis, IFLA’s Professional Units and Governing Board, working with the Headquarters Team, have developed this document, drawing also on an assessment of IFLA’s existing strengths, and its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It was approved by the IFLA Governing Board on 12 April 2019.

Our Mission To inspire, engage, enable and connect the global library field Our Values ■■ The endorsement of the principles of freedom of access to information. ideas and works of imagination and freedom of expression embodied in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ■■ The belief that people, communities and organisations need universal and equitable access to information, ideas and works of imagination for their social, educational, cultural, democratic and economic wellbeing ■■ The conviction that delivery of high-quality library and information services helps guarantee that access ■■ The commitment to enable all Members of the Federation to engage in, and benefit from, its activities without regard to citizenship, disability, ethnic origin, gender, geographical location, language, political philosophy, race or religion.

Structure: A Framework for Actions The IFLA Strategy 2019-24 is a document for the library field, by the library field.

It is designed to be a reference point, not only for IFLA’s own Professional Units, headquarters and regional and languages offices, but also for our membership and the library field as a whole. It should be the catalyst for a new energy and a new alignment in our efforts.

Our Strategic Directions highlight four areas of focus in delivering our mission: 1. Strengthen the Global Voice of Libraries 2. Inspire and Enhance Professional Practice 3. Connect and Empower the Field 4. Optimise our Organisation

complexity – in the decisions that both governments and individuals take.

3. New possibilities to work at scale, offering both new possibilities for the library field, but also a need to focus advocacy and engagement efforts at new levels.

This Update, along with previous editions in 2016, 2017 and 2018 and the original 2013 Trend Report all provide a foundation – and a stimulus – to thinking within our field. We therefore encourage you to take ownership of this report, and to use it in your own work.

Through this, we hope, we can as a profession be better prepared to develop the ideas and take the steps necessary not just to keep up with change, but to lead it.

Through these, it provides a basis for discussion and reflection about what library associations, libraries, and individual library and information workers are facing, and opportunities for action.

This year’s Update is based on the nine interventions made during the President’s Session at the 2019 World Library and Information Congress, which brought together professionals from around the world.

The chapters are organised into three broader trends: 1. Increasing uncertainty in the world we face, demanding new ways of working within our field and with government, but also a growing demand for information.

2. The need to take holistic approaches to deal with growing complexity – or at least awareness of

A handbook for insurance and fisheries stakeholders Type of publication: Book Year of publication: 2019 Author(s): Tietze U., van Anrooy, R.

ISBN: 978-92-5-131568-2 Agrovoc: Small-scale fisheries; Code of conduct for responsible fisheries; Fishery resources; Resource management; Sustainable development; Food security; Poverty; Fishing communities; Social security; Capacity building; Governance; Guidelines; Asia.

SDG (Sustainable Development Goals): 08. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all; 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns; 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts; 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development Abstract: These Guidelines for increasing access of small-scale fisheries to insurance services in Asia have been developed to support the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines). The purpose of these Guidelines is fourfold, i.e.: to increase awareness about the needs of small-scale fishers for better risk management, disaster preparedness and insurance services; to guide policy and decision makers to help introduce insurance services to small-scale fishers, with the ultimate objective to strengthen the sustainability and ecological and economic viability of these fisheries; to build capacity among insurance providers, fisherfolk organizations, NGOs, and concerned government agencies, to design and implement insurance programmes that suit the needs of small-scale fishing communities and enhance social protection; to promote insurance services that incentivize and reward a responsible and sustainable conduct of fishing operations and a better preparedness for natural disasters including climate change related challenges. These Guidelines commence by elaborating on the context and framework, in which insurance programmes for small-scale fisheries should be conceived. It is explained why most small-scale fishers are presently not insured. Major risks and consequences faced by fishers are identified. Risks include capsizing, grounding, collision and sinking of vessels; fire on board of vessels or in port; injury or death of crew as a result of above, human errors during navigation or fishing operations; oil spills or other pollution caused by fishing vessels; theft and vandalism, when moored in port.

Abstract: The Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for Water Use Assessment, composed by 30 international experts, has developed guidelines on water footprinting for livestock supply chains. The mandate of the Water TAG was to provide recommendations to monitor the environmental performance of feed and livestock supply chains over time so that progress towards improvement targets can be measured; apply the guidelines for feed and water demand of small ruminants, poultry, large ruminants and pig supply chains; build on and go beyond the existing FAO LEAP guidelines; and pursue alignment with relevant International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, specifically ISO 14040, ISO 14044 (ISO, 2006b and 2006a) and ISO 14046 (ISO, 2014). The guidelines on water use assessment include the impact assessment: the assessment of the environmental performance related to water use of a livestock-related system by assessing potential environmental impacts of blue water consumption following the water scarcity footprint according to the framework provided by ISO 14046 (ISO, 2014); and the assessment of the system’s productivity of green and blue water. The guidelines are thus intended to support the optimization of use of water resources and the identification of opportunities to decrease the potential impacts of water use in livestock production. The Water TAG guidance is relevant for livestock production systems, including feed production from croplands and grasslands, and production and processing of livestock products (cradle-to-gate). It addresses all livestock production systems and livestock species considered in existing LEAP animal guidelines: poultry, pig, small ruminant and large ruminant supply chains.

Developing sustainable value chains for small-scale livestock producers Type of publication: Book Year of publication: 2019 Publisher: FAO Place of publication: Rome, Italy Pages: 158 p.

Serial Title: FAO Animal Production and Health Guidelines ; 21 ISBN: 978-92-5-131727-3 Agrovoc: Small scale farming; Smallholders; Livestock production; Food chains; Sustainability; Monitoring; Evaluation; Guidelines.

Abstract: This publication constitutes a practical development tool, which implements the sustainable food value chain framework with a focus on small-scale livestock producers, targeting an audience of project design teams and policymakers. Small-scale livestock producers are important actors in food production, human health and management of landscapes and animal genetic resources. However, they face a number of challenges, which hamper their productivity, access to market, and competitiveness vis-à-vis their larger counterparts. By integrating the concepts of value addition and the three dimensions of sustainability, the sustainable food value chain framework not only addresses questions concerning the competitiveness, inclusion and empowerment of small-scale producers, but also incorporates the cross-cutting issues that are increasingly embedded in development projects. These guidelines take the user through the different steps of value chain development, highlighting the particularities of the smallholder livestock sector, such as multifunctionality, specific production cycles or food safety issues, through concrete examples.

Prudent and efficient use of antimicrobials in pigs and poultry. A practical manual.

Type of publication: Book Author(s): Magnusson, U.; Sternberg, S.; Eklund, G.; Rozstalnyy, A. Year of publication: 2019 Publisher: FAO Place of publication: Rome, Italy Pages: 44 p.

ISBN: 978-92-5-131891-1 Serial Title: FAO Animal Production and Health manual ; 23 Agrovoc: Swine; Poultry; Animal diseases; Antibiotics; Disease prevention; Vaccination; Resistance to antibiotics; Animal husbandry; Good practices; Health; Antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract: Antimicrobials are widely used in both humans and livestock and have greatly contributed to better human and animal health. However, these benefits are being threatened by the global emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Because humans and animals often share the same bacteria and may be treated with the same types of antibacterial drugs, resistance to antibiotics is the most critical aspect of AMR for the livestock sector. One way to mitigate the emergence of AMR is to reduce the overall use of antibiotics by combining prudent and medically rational use with other disease preventive measures. This manual will contribute to addressing the challenge of AMR by promoting the prevention of infections and the prudent use of antibiotics in the pig and poultry sectors, the livestock sectors that generally have the highest use of antibiotics. It should be regarded as a practical complement to national governance and regulatory measures. The manual is intended to assist pharmacists, veterinarians, other animal health workers, farm owners and their staff in using antibiotics in a prudent and medically efficient way without loss in productivity. It is especially targeted to farmers with commercialized medium- or largescale production, veterinarians and other animal health personnel in non-EU Eastern European and Balkan countries, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, who are dealing with pigs and poultry. However, in many cases the principles and practices described here are universally useful and may be applied elsewhere.

Rift Valley fever surveillance. Manual Type of publication: Book Year of publication: 2018 Publisher: FAO Place of publication: Rome, Italy Pages: 80 p.

Serial Title: FAO Animal Production and Health Manual ; 21 ISBN: 978-92-5-130244-6 Agrovoc: Animal production; Animal health; Livestock production; Animal diseases; Viroses.

SDG (Sustainable Development Goals): 02. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture; 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns; 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts; 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development; 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss; 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.

Abstract: FAO has published a new manual, which is part of the EMPRES series on animal health: Rift Valley fever surveillance Manual. Available in English, this surveillance manual is for countries at risk of RVF - and those where RVF is endemic. Drafted by Jeffrey Mariner, Tufts University, this is a guide to conducting effective surveillance, reducing the socio-economic consequences of outbreaks, and preventing them where possible. It is addressed to veterinarians and other animal health professionals and uses plain language supported with practical examples. We hope that readers will implement these strategies and build effective surveillance capacity to prevent and control RVF. Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an epizootic disease. Even in regions where the RVF virus is always present, outbreaks do not necessarily occur.

Several years can separate outbreaks, with no evidence of disease in the interim. Moreover, RVF is now threatening to spread north to Northern Africa and Europe, perhaps following the same pathway as lumpy skin disease (LSD). What is out of sight is all too often out of mind. With RVF, extended inter-epizootic periods lull us into inaction and opportunities for disease prevention are lost. Once an outbreak takes hold, it is too late to prevent the toll on animals, livelihoods and even human life. It is difficult to convince health leaders of how crucial emergency preparedness, particularly for animal diseases - even zoonotic ones. The international community, including development organizations like FAO, need to scan the horizon constantly to recognize evolving risk. We must remind countries and stakeholders of the importance of being prepared for disease emergencies. We must build effective national or regional response capabilities to minimize the risk of outbreaks and socio-economic impact of disease. Disease surveillance is the main pillar of early detection and response. FAO has long advocated its importance to national decision-makers – sadly, often with limited success. Nevertheless, even a long journey starts with a single step. FAO works consistently with countries to improve surveillance capacity, so they can detect and respond to transboundary animal diseases like RVF. The manual was produced within the framework of the Vmerge project, “Emerging, Viral Vector-Borne Diseases”, a research consortium funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission from 20132017, that focuses on viral vector-borne diseases in Europe, the Mediterranean region and West Africa.

Abstract: The roots and tubers industry in sub-Saharan Africa has been growing steadily in recent years. Nevertheless, a series of challenges, including lack of access to finance and climate change related events, has prevented the majority of actors in these value chains, who are mainly small farmers and small processors, from taking advantage of such growth. In order to properly assess such challenges, the project “Strengthening linkages between small actors and buyers in the roots and tubers sector in Africa” conducted a series of studies to identify relevant gaps, constraints and opportunities to develop tailored financial products and risk management strategies for small farmers. The present publication provides a summary of the most important lessons learned, with the related policy recommendations.

Abstract: Hunger is on the rise again in the world after a decade of decline. Hunger not only cruelly affects the well-being of people, it also undermines national development prospects of any kind. It erodes human capital and productivity and exists in direct contradiction to the human right to adequate food. But hunger is a scourge that can be eradicated. This publication discusses the international Zero Hunger agenda in light of the achievements of the Fome Zero programme in Brazil. It revisits successful initiatives and discusses current actions, while also critically assessing new and growing

Abstract: The case study explores which skills and training opportunities young people need in order to gain access to decent employment in rural areas. The research was undertaken in order to develop recommendations to support the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) and FAO Cambodia in developing appropriate recommendations to support rural young people, especially those of the 15 to 17 age cohort. The study highlights the limited decent employment opportunities that currently exist along various agricultural value chains in rural Cambodia. Poverty and the structural problems of the agricultural sector are the main barriers for youth in accessing decent rural employment.

A substantial enhancement of the education system, as well as the provision of appropriate training services to ensure successful schoolto-work transition is seen as necessary to tackle these challenges. A well-balanced policy mix reflecting national and local circumstances can encourage employment opportunities and create an environment that enables rural youth. Building on previous research on agriculture in Cambodia, agricultural transformation requires promotion of agribusiness enterprises, support to community-managed organizations of farmers, promotion of agropreneurs, and investments in agricultural and rural development, particularly in infrastructure, energy, water, education and health.

Moreover, most youth entering agriculture are self-employed and work as smallscale farmers. Therefore, the provision of skills and training in rural areas should focus on the skills required to be self-employed.

Abstract: Since 2004, the Right to Food Guidelines have introduced an approach that has influenced the global agenda to eradicate hunger and malnutrition and is relevant to today’s global efforts towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda, grounded in human rights and hence recalling the importance of the progressive realization of the right to adequate food. This publication highlights efforts of a number of countries, organizations, groups, at the global, regional and national level, in taking legislative actions, designing policies and strategies, setting up accountable institutions and bodies, to respect, protect and fulfil this human right. While looking at good implementation practices from the past fifteen years, this review offers concrete examples of how this global normative instrument can still make a substantial and decisive contribution to today’s global challenges and offers six takeaway policy messages to guide our future actions. As eloquently described in this timely review, the Right to Food Guidelines anticipated the urgency to address today’s most pressing global challenges: conflicts, migrations, climate change-connected issues such as drought, water scarcity, natural disasters and hazards -these cannot be solved unless leaving no one behind ceases to be just a motto-.

Most importantly, leaving no one behind requires the efforts of a multitude of actors, cooperating, dialoguing, The book reminds us all of the important role played by FAO as a convening agent and facilitator of policy dialogue, provider of technical support and high-quality knowledge generation hub, to advance the human right to adequate food over the last one and half decade.

Abstract: The International Code of Conduct for the Sustainable Use and Management of Fertilizers or Fertilizer Code was developed to increase food safety and the safe use of fertilizers. The Fertilizer Code aims to address issues of global importance, thereby contributing to the implementation of some of the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs). It essentially provides a locally adaptable framework and a voluntary set of practices to serve the different stakeholders directly or indirectly involved with fertilizers. It is expected that these stakeholders will contribute to sustainable agriculture and food security from a nutrient management perspective, by adhering and help implementing the voluntary guidelines and recommendations provided. The Fertilizer Code is the result of a broad and intensive consultation process initiated in December 2017, unfolded until February 2019, as recommended by the Committee on Agriculture and finally endorsed by the 41st FAO Conference in June 2019.

SDG (Sustainable Development Goals): 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.

Abstract: The cultivation of diverse farmers’ varieties/landraces, which tend to be well-adapted and suited to local production systems, confers increased resilience for crop production. Farmers’ varieties/landraces are also potential sources of traits for crop improvement, especially for developing varieties tolerant to biotic and abiotic stresses and for incorporating farmer-preferred traits. Unfortunately, many of these genetic resources have been replaced by modern cultivars in recent decades, resulting in a reduction in the total number of different varieties grown and/or loss of heterogeneity. Such losses make farming systems less resilient, especially to shocks from abiotic and biotic stresses.

SDG (Sustainable Development Goals): 02. Zero hunger: the food and agriculture sector offers key solutions for development, and is central for hunger and poverty

Abstract: This new edition of the report focuses on food losses and waste, providing new estimates of the world’s food post-harvest up to, but excluding, the retail level. Addressing policy makers, the report also offers a comprehensive analysis of the critical loss points in specific supply chains, thus providing examples on appropriate measures for an effective reduction. The preparation of The State of Food and Agriculture 2019 began with an inception workshop, held at FAO headquarters in Rome on 10 September 2018 and attended by members of a panel of external experts and FAO specialists. Following the workshop, an advisory group representing all relevant FAO technical units and chaired by the Deputy-Director of FAO’s Agricultural Development Economics Division was formed to assist in the drafting process.

At a seminar held on 17 October 2018, the research and writing team and the advisory group discussed the report’s outline. The first three draft chapters were presented to the advisory group on 18 January 2019. Based on comments received from the advisory group, the team revised the draft. The first full draft was then presented to the advisory group and panel of external experts on 1 February and discussed at a second workshop held on 14–15 February. With inputs from that workshop, the report was revised and presented to the management team of FAO’s Economic and Social Development Department. The revised draft was sent for comments to other FAO departments and to the FAO regional offices for Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Near East and North Africa, as well as to external reviewers. Comments were incorporated in the final draft, which was reviewed by the Assistant Director-General of the Economic and Social Development Department, and then submitted to the Office of the FAO Director-General on 9 July 2019. In drafting the report, the research and writing team drew on background papers prepared by FAO and external experts.

promote sustainable agriculture.

Abstract: This year’s report presents evidence that the absolute number of people who suffer from hunger continues to slowly increase. The report also highlights that food insecurity is more than just hunger. For the first time, the report provides evidence that many people in the world, even if not hungry, experience moderate food insecurity as they face uncertainties about their ability to obtain food and are forced to compromise on the quality and/or quantity of the food they consume. This phenomenon is observed globally, not only in low- and middle-income countries but also in high income countries. The report also shows that the world is not on track to meet global nutrition targets, including those on low birthweight and on reducing stunting among children under five years. Moreover, overweight and obesity continue to increase in all regions, particularly among school-age children and adults. The report stresses that no region is exempt from the epidemic of overweight and obesity, underscoring the necessity of multifaceted, multisectoral approaches to halt and reverse these worrying trends. In light of the fragile state of the world economy, the report presents new evidence confirming that hunger has been on the rise for many countries where the economy has slowed down or contracted. Unpacking the links between economic slowdowns and downturns and food insecurity and malnutrition, the report contends that the effects of the former on the latter can only be offset by addressing the root causes of hunger and malnutrition: poverty, inequality and marginalization.

Abstract: Mountain food security and nutrition are core issues that can contribute positively to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals but paradoxically are often ignored in Zero Hunger and poverty reduction-related agenda. Under the overall leadership of José Graziano da Silva, the Former Director-General of FAO, sustainable mountain agriculture development is set as a priority in Asia and the Pacific, to effectively address this issue and assist Member Countries in tackling food insecurity and malnutrition in mountain regions. This comprehensive publication is the first of its kind that focuses on the multidimensional status, challenges, opportunities and solutions of sustainable mountain agriculture development for Zero Hunger in Asia. This publication is building on the ‘International Workshop and Regional Expert Consultation on Mountain Agriculture Development and Food Security and Nutrition Governance’, held by FAO RAP and UIR in November 2018 Beijing, in collaboration with partners from national governments, national agriculture institutes, universities, international organizations and international research institutes. The publication provides analysis with evidence on how mountain agriculture could contribute to satisfying all four dimensions of food security, to transform food systems to be nutrition-sensitive, climate-resilient, economicallyviable and locally adaptable. From this food system perspective, the priority should be given to focus on specialty mountain product identification (e.g. Future Smart Food), production, processing, marketing and consumption, which would effectively expose the potential of mountain agriculture to contribute to Zero Hunger and poverty reduction. In addition, eight Asian country case studies not only identify context-specific challenges within biophysical-technical, policy, socio-economic and institutional dimensions.

Statistics

SDG (Sustainable Development Goals): 01. End poverty in all its forms everywhere; 02. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture; 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries; 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts; 14.

Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development Abstract: This pocketbook presents, at a glance, selected key indicators on agriculture and food security, and is meant to serve as an easy-to- access and quick reference for all stakeholders and partners involved in policy formulation or decision making processes. The indicators are presented in two sections, one thematic and one country-specific; they are organized along four main themes: 1) The setting, that measures the state of the agricultural resource base by assessing the supply of land, labour, capital and inputs; 2) Hunger dimensions, which gauges the state of food insecurity and malnutrition, and highlights the four dimensions – availability, access, stability and utilization – that determine the scale of hunger and the shape of undernourishment; 3) Food supply, which evaluates the past and present productive capacity of world agriculture, together with the role of trade, in meeting the world’s demand for food, feed and other products; 4) Environment, which examines the sustainability of agriculture in the context of the pressure it exerts on its ecological surroundings. The pocketbook is part of FAO’s efforts to support national, regional and international partners for improving the availability of high quality and timely data, in view of promoting sustainable agricultural development and zero hunger.

FAO Repository Library reviews: Forestry Advancing the forest and water nexus: A capacity development facilitation guide Type of publication: Book Author(s): Eberhardt, U., Springgay, E., Gutierrez, V., Casallas-Ramirez, S. and Cohen, R. Year of publication: 2019 Publisher: FAO Place of publication: Rome, Italy Pages: 140 p.

ISBN: 978-92-5-131859-1 Agrovoc: Forests; water; Natural resources management; Forest landscape restoration; Forest ecosystems; Ecosystem services; Water supply; Water quality; Water availability; Sustainable Development Goals.

SDG (Sustainable Development Goals): 06. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all; 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss; 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development; 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts Abstract: Forests are intrinsically linked to water – forested watersheds provide 75 percent of our accessible freshwater resources (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005) – and both forest and water resources are relevant to the achievement of all 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Despite the important interlinkages, the forest-water nexus is often unaccounted for in policy and planning. For example, three quarters of forests are not managed for soil and water conservation, which poses a fundamental challenge to achieving sustainable and resilient communities and ecosystems.

It is paramount to employ an integrated approach to forest and water resources in management and policy that takes into account the complexity and contextual nature of forest-water relationships. To achieve this, we must improve our understanding of forest-water relationships within local contexts and at different scales, as well as our ability to design,

In this context, FAO’s Forest and Water Programme has developed a module-based capacity development facilitation guide for project and community stakeholders involved in forest, water and natural resource management to ensure we apply our knowledge to better manage forests and trees for their multiple benefits, including water quantity, quality and the associated socio-economic benefits that people within and outside forests so heavily depend on.

ISBN: 978-92-5-130743-4 Agrovoc: Refugees; Forest degradation; Deforestation; Forest rehabilitation; Sustainable forest management; Wood production; Forest plantations; Site preparation; Monitoring and evaluation.

SDG (Sustainable Development Goals): 07. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and clean energy for all; 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss Abstract: The massive increase in demand for woodfuel for cooking caused by sudden influxes of refugees and other displaced people is usually the main driver of forest degradation and deforestation in displacement settings. It places enormous pressure on nearby forests and woodlands and is often a source of tension between the host and displaced communities. A lack of sufficient cooking fuel also has an impact on the nutrition and health of vulnerable people in such settings. This document aims to contribute on a sustainable forest management in displacement settings for building resilience and laying the basis for long-term solutions. In particular, well-planned forestry interventions can ensure a sustainable supply of woodfuel, timber and non-wood forest products for those communities, thereby helping ensure their well-being.

SDG (Sustainable Development Goals): 01. End poverty in all its forms everywhere; 02. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture; 03. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages; 04. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all; 05. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls; 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns; 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts Abstract: Considering the detrimental environmental impact of current food systems, and the concerns raised about their sustainability, there is an urgent need to promote diets that are healthy and have low environmental impacts. These diets also need to be socio-culturally acceptable and economically accessible for all. Acknowledging the existence of diverging views on the concepts of sustainable diets and healthy diets, countries have requested guidance from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) on what constitutes sustainable healthy diets. These guiding principles take a holistic approach to diets; they consider international nutrition recommendations; the environmental cost of food production and consumption; and the adaptability to local social, cultural and economic contexts. This publication aims to support the efforts of countries as they work to transform food systems to deliver on sustainable healthy diets, contributing to the achievement of the SDGs at country level, especially Goals 1 (No Poverty), 2 (Zero Hunger), 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 4 (Quality Education), 5 (Gender Equality) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and 13 (Climate Action). ​ Download file Cite this publication as: FAO and WHO. 2019.

SDG (Sustainable Development Goals): 01. Economic growth must be inclusive to provide sustainable jobs and promote equality.

Abstract: This guide examines the responsibilities of private sector lawyers in avoiding and addressing, preventing and mitigating adverse human rights impacts on tenure right holders when advising on agricultural investments. These responsibilities arise under international standards for the protection of legitimate tenure rights, including the UN FAO Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the context of national food security (VGGT), as considered within the framework of international human rights laws which underpin aspects of those standards. In the light of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP), the guide considers the dual responsibility of lawyers in this context: (1) through the impact of these standards on the professional duties of the lawyer (including in-house counsel) towards the investor client and (2) through the impact on the law firm’s responsibilities as a business in its own right, in the light of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitments. The guide examines the requirements for due diligence in this context and makes a number of recommendations to promote compliance with UNGP on behalf both of the investor client and of the law firm, considered as a business in its own right.

Abstract: Anche quest’anno insieme con l’Annuario dell’agricoltura italiana, viene pubblicata una monografia di approfondimento, dedicata questa volta all’agricoltura urbana e peri-urbana, un argomento che da qualche tempo l’Istituto segue da diversi punti di vista. Si tratta di un’edizione particolare, che per la prima volta riporta il logo CREA – Consiglio per la ricerca in agricoltura e l’analisi dell’economia agraria – l’ente nazionale di ricerche nato dalla fusione avvenuta all’inizio del 2015 tra l’INEA e il CRA. Il volume offre una lettura del fenomeno dell’agricoltura urbana e peri-urbana in Italia, focalizzando l’attenzione sia sulle aziende agricole professionali localizzate in prossimità dei centri urbani, sia sulle tante esperienze di orti sociali, di riqualificazione urbana, di didattica e di coesione sociale nate nei contesti metropolitani negli ultimi anni.

Abstract: We live in an age of rapid and unprecedented planetary change. Indeed, many scientists believe our ever-increasing consumption, and the resulting increased demand for energy, land and water, is driving a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. It’s the first time in the Earth’s history that a single species – Homo sapiens – has had such a powerful impact on the planet. This rapid planetary change, referred to as the ‘Great Acceleration’, has brought many benefits to human society. Yet we now also understand that there are multiple connections between the overall rise in our health, wealth, food and security, the unequal distribution of these benefits and the declining state of the Earth’s natural systems. Nature, underpinned by biodiversity, provides a wealth of services, which form the building blocks of modern society; but both nature and biodiversity are disappearing at an alarming rate. Despite well-meaning attempts to stop this loss through global agreements such as the Convention on Biological Diversity, we are failing; current targets and consequent actions amount, at best, to a managed decline.

Abstract: L’acqua è l’elemento naturale indispensabile per la vita sulla Terra: una risorsa preziosa da sempre oggetto di contese, conflitti e depauperamento. Si parla infatti di water grabbing, ovvero l’accaparramento di risorse idriche a danno delle popolazioni più deboli. In quattordici capitoli basati su narrazioni visive si intrecciano foto di reportage d’autore, infografiche e mappe geografiche per raccontare in chiave geopolitica la situazione dei Paesi in cui è maggiore la criticità legata ai sistemi idrici. Un’approfondita ricerca in prospettiva “blu”, che affronta dal punto di vista dei diritti umani e ambientali temi di geopolitica, sicurezza alimentare ed energia, per riscoprire il piacere della geografia dell’acqua in un pianeta che nessuno più sa riconoscere.
