Territorial facilitation: a one week training course

Territorial facilitation: a one week training course

Descripción

There is increasing evidence that natural resources, land and water in particular, are rapidly shrinking and this combines with an increasing demographic trends as well as with more competitive claims for these resources by a variety of agricultural and non agricultural actors. Whilst the lack of adequate and secure access to land and other natural resources by food insecure and marginalized people is one of the critical aspects of hunger and poverty in the world, there is also a critical dimens ion related to the planned use and management of the resources that needs to be tackled with an equity orientation focus. This is because equity orientation is one of the critical aspects of hunger and inequality in the world. To foster equity, the critical point to be addressed is the increasing asymmetries of power amongst different actors acting at different scales. A negotiated and inclusive approach to these territories does represent a possible way to address these issues. This document bu ilds on the contents of some previous work done by FAO at normative and field level and aims at contribute to the implementation phase of the Voluntary Guidelines for the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries, and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) program.
