Descripción
Meeting the targets of the 2030 Agenda in rural areas requires innovative approaches to unlock the potential of agriculture, promote sustainable growth and enhance rural livelihoods. This implies investing in the restoration and sustainable management of landscapes and territories, so that they can provide the basis for long-lasting productive agriculture and food systems and generate job opportunities and adequate incomes. The management of local socio-ecological systems requires effective stakeholder engagement, consensus building, strong local institutions and a shared vision of goals and priorities. This programme seeks to strengthen the planning and coordination capacities of local institutions to design and implement action plans and to mobilize investments for sustainable rural development. The key sectors of interest include those aiming to reduce rural poverty, promote local development and preserve the environment, starting with sustainable agriculture practices. FAO, together with its partners, aims to identify successful approaches, foster evidence generation and promote knowledge exchange, including through South‒South cooperation.
