Agroecology in Policy and Practice
In the past years, there has been steady growth in work relating to agroecology. People-centred, knowledge-intensive and rooted to sustainability, it is now well established that agroecology matches the transformative approach called for by the 2030 Agenda; a transition to sustainable food and agriculture systems that ensures food security and nutrition for all, provides social and economic equity, and conserves biodiversity and the ecosystem services on which agriculture depends. Although not a new concept, agroecology is today gaining interest worldwide among a wide range of actors as an effective answer to climate change and the interrelated challenges facing food systems, finding expression in the practices of food producers, in grassroots social processes for sustainability and the public policies of many countries around the world.
Paying Farmers for Environmental Services
International food aid has rightly been credited with saving millions of lives and is often the only thing that stands between vulnerable people and death. However, it was a serious obstacle in the Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations and has been sharply criticised as a donor-driven response that creates dependency on the part of recipients and undermines local agricultural producers and traders upon whom sustainable food security depends. This issue of the 'State of Food and Agriculture' report examines the issues and controversies surrounding international food aid, particularly in crisis situations. It considers the ways in which food aid can support sustainable improvements in food security, in order to preserve its essential humanitarian role whilst minimising the possibility of harmful secondary impacts.
The Future is an Ancient Lake
This art book contains over 350 color photographs by Marzio Marzot, documenting information on traditional food production systems, scientific details and notes from a journey through one of the world' s outstanding region: the Lake Chad Basin in Africa. It provides an insight into the life and customs of the local farmers, fishermen and pastoralists who foster, maintain and utilize biodiversity in their traditional agricultural systems, thereby deploying the knowledge and techniques that they have accumulated over many centuries. FAO promotes the sharing of experiences and awareness related to the role of rural people in conserving and sustainably using agricultural biodiversity. Building on the local knowledge and social organization of farmers is indispensable. The images in this book are a tribute to the knowledge and work of farmers and their care for the land.

La Situation Mondiale de L'alimentation Et de L'agriculture 2007

GARDENS of BIODIVERSITY
This book does not claim to offer a definitive prescription for sustainable agriculture and is not an exhaustive study. It puts forth a collection of concrete examples showing how genetic resources are maintained and used by small farmers for food security in the Southern Caucasus. These examples show that the livelihoods and prospects of rural people can be improved and consolidated in a sustainable manner to face important environmental, social and economic challenges without sacrificing the prosperity of future generations. The book would like to stimulate further debate, research and policies in the hope that bridges can be built between the sustainable use of biodiversity and genetic resources, traditional practices and ways of life, and the new technologies, demands and challenges of today’s society.
Il Futuro E Un Lago Antico
Questo libro ci porta nel Bacino del Lago Ciad, nel cuore dell'Africa, e ci svela da vicino un ecosistema unico, fragile e prezioso, con la vita quotidiana delle persone che vi abitano. Negli ultimi quattro anni questo lago, il quarto per le dimensioni del continente africano, ha perso i tre quarti della sua estensione. Eppure, il lago pulsa di vita e circa 11 milioni di persone traggono da esso la loro esistenza. Il libro contiene oltre 350 fotografie di Marzio Marzot, informazioni documentate sui sistemi tradizionali di produzione alimentare, dettagli scientifici ed appunti di un viaggio attraverso una regione unica al mondo. Fornisce una visione approfondita della vita e delle abitudini degli agricoltori, dei pescatori e dei pastori che conservano ed utilizzano la biodiversita nei loro sistemi agricoli tradizionali, sfruttando l'esperienza e le tecniche apprese nel corso dei secoli."
Le futur est un ancien lac
Ce livre nous emm�ne au coeur de l'Afrique, dans le bassin du lac Tchad, un �cosyst�me unique, aussi fragile que pr�cieux, et essentiel � la vie quotidienne de ses habitants. L' ouvrage contient plus de 350 photographies r�alis�es par Marzio Marzot, de l'information document�e sur les syst�mes traditionnels de production alimentaire, des d�tails scientifiques et des extraits de carnet de voyage portant sur l'une des r�gions du globe les plus extraordinaires. Le livre donne �galement un aper�u des conditions de vie et des coutumes propres aux agriculteurs, aux p�cheurs et aux �leveurs locaux; autant d'acteurs qui, au moyen de techniques et de savoirs accumul�s au cours des si�cles, favorisent, maintiennent et exploitent la biodiversit� au sein de leurs syst�mes traditionnels. La FAO a la conviction que les populations locales peuvent �tre fi�res des pratiques traditionnelles qui fondent leurs syst�mes de production et qu'il est n�cessaire de reconna�tre leur r�le fondamental dans le maintien de la biodiversit�.

Sustainable Food and Agriculture
Sustainable Food and Agriculture: An Integrated Approach is the first book to look at the imminent threats to sustainable food security through a cross-sectoral lens. As the world faces food supply challenges posed by the declining growth rate of agricultural productivity, accelerated deterioration of quantity and quality of natural resources that underpin agricultural production, climate change, and hunger, poverty and malnutrition, a multi-faced understanding is key to identifying practical solutions. This book gives stakeholders a common vision, concept and methods that are based on proven and widely agreed strategies for continuous improvement in sustainability at different scales. While...
