Descripción
The Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development - Farming Systems Evolution project of FAO (GCP/INT/819/MUL) aims to strengthen the capacity of government and non-government stakeholders to improve policies and institutions to achieve sustainable agriculture and rural development. The project studied how selected farming systems in Honduras, Mali and the Philippines have evolved over the long term. Each case study identified the driving forces, current strengths and weaknesses of these farming systems, analyzed future scenarios, and identified policy priorities and actions for achieving sustainable agriculture and rural development. The project used participatory, bottom-up approaches and tools to ensure that the knowledge, priorities and views of stakeholders at all levels, including local rural communites and poor people, were taken into account. The case study integrates the cultural, social, economic and environmental dimensions in the analysis of sustainability at local, territorial and national levels. The SARD-FSE project, supported by the governments of France and Japan, was implemented with the Programme for Sustainable Agriculture on Sloping Lands of Central America (PASOLAC) in Honduras, the Institute of Rural Economics (IER) in Mali and the Asian NGO Coalition for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ANGOC) in the Philippines.
