Welcome to FAO’s e-bulletin on the post-2015 development agenda, the process designed to craft a successor framework to the Millennium Development Goals. In this issue, we feature proposed targets and indicators for FAO’s 14 priority themes for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), hear from Maria Helena Semedo, Deputy Director-General for Natural Resources, who describes FAO’s post-2015 focus in a video interview, and pick out six innovative ways of engaging in the process.

14 themes for SDGs<http://www.fao.org/post-2015-mdg/news/detail-news/en/c/235463/>





The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has released proposed targets and indicators for 14 themes the Organization is focusing on in support of the UN-wide process to define global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Meetings sharpen focus on RBA targets<http://www.fao.org/post-2015-mdg/news/detail-news/en/c/235444/>





Targets and indicators on sustainable agriculture, food security and nutrition were the subject of discussion among New York delegates of members of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) and representatives of civil society at meetings hosted by the Rome-based Agencies (RBAs) - FAO, IFAD and WFP, in New York on 5 and 7 May.



The gatherings – held during the week of the eleventh session of the Open Working Group (OWG) on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – presented an opportunity for discussion on proposed targets under OWG focus area 2, for which the RBAs, working within the United Nations Technical Support Team, have collaborated to provide input.

DID YOU KNOW...?



[cid:image010.png@01CF8A44.37061B30]



Today, only a fifth of the world population enjoys sufficient social protection. An additional 30 percent is partially, but not sufficiently covered, leaving half of the world excluded.











FAST FACTS



[cid:image010.png@01CF8A44.37061B30]



Of the 30 000 edible plants, just 4 – wheat, rice, maize and potatoes – provide 60 percent of the world population’s energy intake. Using such a small number of species increases the vulnerability of agriculture systems and puts food security and nutrition at risk.
