Dans un monde confronté à de nombreux défis liés au changement climatique, aux questions socio-économiques et aux migrations, on ne saurait trop insister sur l'importance de la terre. La terre n'est pas seulement une préoccupation pour la communauté foncière, mais pour toutes les communautés, car elle offre la possibilité de résoudre des problèmes mondiaux cruciaux. Reconnaissant la nécessité d'une approche globale de la gouvernance foncière, un programme foncier mondial est proposé. Ce blog explore les origines, les objectifs et les actions nécessaires pour ouvrir la voie à une gouvernance foncière efficace à l'échelle mondiale.

There is some irony in that many of the terms – ‘thesaurus’, ‘taxonomy’, ‘controlled vocabulary’ ‘ontology’ – that are intended to bring order and clarity to our use of language in professional settings are themselves subject to diverse interpretations and application. This is in large part because they are used by a range of people working in different contexts with different purposes.

Our food systems are in urgent need of transformation, as humanity faces one of our biggest challenges yet; feeding a future population of 10 billion people with safe and nutritious food while keeping a healthy planet. Our food system has the power to tip the scales and transform the future of our planet and humankind.

The debate about compensation of former white farmers in Zimbabwe continues to rage. The compensation agreement signed in July agreed a total amount of US$3.5 billion to pay for ‘improvements’ to the land that was expropriated. After 20 years of discussion, this was a major step forward. However, there seem to be multiple positions on the agreement and little consensus, along with much misunderstanding. However, some things are happening, and a joint resource mobilisation committee has been established with technical support from the World Bank and others.
