Pulses are praised for their health, environmental and economic benefits. How can their full potential be tapped?



Pulses are important food crops that can play a major role in addressing global food security and environmental challenges, as well as contribute to healthy diets.

In this discussion, organized in the context of the International Year of Pulses, participants examined the benefits of pulses for food security and improved nutrition while highlighting the challenges producers face. The discussion also collected pulse recipes from all around the world.

Youth – feeding the future. Addressing the challenges faced by rural youth aged 15 to 17 in preparing for and accessing decent work



Rural youth are the future of food security and rural poverty reduction. However, youth in rural areas of developing countries face enormous challenges in preparing for and accessing decent work, including in agriculture. These challenges are even greater for youth under the age of 18.

This online consultation explored the solutions that can address these challenges and served as a building block for the upcoming Expert Meeting to be held by FAO at the end of 2016.

Urbanization, Rural Transformation and Implications for Food Security - Online consultation on the background document to the CFS Forum



Urbanization and the transformation of agriculture, food systems and rural spaces present challenges and opportunities for inclusive growth, poverty eradication, economic, environmental and social sustainability, and food security and nutrition.

The purpose of the consultation was to gain input on the background document prepared by the CFS Secretariat to support the discussions at CFS 43 in October 2016 on Urbanization, Rural Transformation and Implications for Food Security.

Harnessing the benefits of ecosystem services for effective ecological intensification in agriculture



The next few decades will witness a rapidly increasing demand for agricultural products, which will need to be met largely through intensification of production. Ecological intensification - the optimization of all provisioning, regulating and supporting ecosystem services in the agricultural production process - has been proposed as a promising solution.

The aim of this discussion was to foster a dialogue on emerging knowledge from research on this approach.
