description
This collaborative presentation by IUFRO was given at a session titled "New findings on the dynamics between forests, land use and food security" at the Global Landscapes Forum in Lima, Peru, on December 7, 2014. The session discussed direct and indirect roles of forests and trees in food systems, the importance of food production systems across the forest-agriculture continuum for food security, dietary diversity and nutrition, and the ensuing implications for land use. The social, economic and environmental synergies and trade-offs between forests and food security and related management interventions, as well as relevant response options will also be discussed. The debate also touched upon questions of sustainable land use under a post-Kyoto climate agreement.

Increasing scientific evidence of importance of forests and tree based systems for dietary diversity and quality
Income from non-timber forest products and agroforestry tree products provide significant benefits for national economies as well as livelihoods, notably for vulnerable smallholders in tropical regions
Fodder and fuel make essential contributions to food security and nutrition
Multitude of ecosystem services simultaneously support food production, sustainability and health
Lack of scientific information, knowledge of stakeholders and awareness of decision-makers
