TENURE RIGHTSLAND AND SOILS
Only 1/4 of world populationenjoys su�cient social protection
78%of world's poor live in rural areas
2.5 billionfarmers, fisher folk and foresters
are most vulnerable to crises and disasters
Temperatures are exceedingsurvival thresholds of crop,
tree and fish species
Just 4 of 30,000 edible plants provide 60% of the world's dietary energy intake
Modern food systems are heavily dependent on fossil fuels
85% of total primary energy is fossil fuel based
29% of assessedmarine fish stocks are overfished
Forests contain over 80% of land biodiversity;
70% of freshwater comes from mountains
2/3 of the world population are likelyto be living in water-stressed countries by 2025
Many agricultural practices are unsustainable
1/3 of food produced is lost or wasted, natural resources are damaged and
animal breeds are at risk
25% of the planet's landis highly degraded
Inadequate and insecure tenure rights to natural resources often result in extreme
poverty and hunger

ABC to food security and sustainable development
Sustainability will be at the heart of new global development goalsthat will replace the MDGs after 2015
but the way we produce more food cannot be at the expense of the planet
Political will and participatory governance will be crucial in realisingthe zero hunger goal, and in promoting sustainable food and agricultural
systems that ensure healthy, balanced, diverse diets for all
To nourish another 2 billion people in 2050, food production must rise by 60%.
We face a major challenge in feeding an expanding world population

Natural resourcesare diminishing
Climate is changingEcosystems are compromisedand biodiversity lost
Nourishment is keyto leading an active
healthy life

Rural developmentis critical to eliminating
poverty and hunger
C
Sustainably using natural resourcesand maintaining biodiversity
are vital to a productive planet
