Letter Of Agreement Fao

The Agricultural Law Section (SFA) of the IBA and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have forged strong relations in recent years and are cooperating on issues of common interest. Following successful joint meetings at the IBA conferences in Sydney (2017) and Rome (2018), the two bodies signed a formalised and strengthened agreement at the IBA annual conference in Seoul on 24 September 2019. FAO`s goal is to ensure food security for all and to ensure that people have regular access to food of sufficient quality to lead active and healthy lives. With more than 194 member states, FAO works in more than 130 countries around the world. BUREN contributed to the Thomson Reuters Practical Agricultural Law Guide with a question-and-answer session on agricultural law in the Netherlands. more… The project will address the contradictions and gaps in the policy framework to harmonize aquaculture and fisheries issues and strengthen the resilience of the subsector through national capacity development and the integration of adaptation priorities to combat climate change. It will increase awareness and knowledge among local fishermen and fish farmers and improve local adaptive capacity through the transfer and adoption of appropriate climate-resistant fisheries and aquaculture interventions and approaches, supported by effective knowledge management (e.g. B the use of ICT-based climate information services and disaster information services to ensure a wider dissemination of best practices and lessons learned.

“We believe that everyone can help end hunger.” Poor farmers and smallholders in project areas will benefit from both social and financial interventions, including capacity development, to adapt to the negative effects of climate change and variability. The coastal and inland ecosystems of this project (covering an area of approximately 4,790 km2) are subject to climate-resilient management plans and practices. The long-term viability of the project will be supported by the adoption of a strategy to promote the scaling and replication of climate-resilient adaptations in Bangladesh, as well as by building the capacity of doFs, partner organizations and local communities on the effects on climate change and the resilience of adaptation options. The Department of Fisheries (DoF) and FAO Bangladesh will implement a Global Environmental Facility (LDCF) Least Developed Countries (LDC) project called Climate Resilient Fisheries and Aquaculture Development (GCP/BGD/055/LDF). The project will work to remove key barriers to effective adaptation to climate change in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors by integrating climate change resilience into its policy reform and to improve the resilience of the fishing sector through the development of the capacities of fisheries officers and fishing-dependent communities. For the past few years, the Agricultural Law Section of the International Bar (IBA), chaired by Jan Holthuis of BUREN, has been working with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on issues of common interest.
