A brighter future for people and the planet. Vital solutions for food and land use systems delivering for all.
About us
Established in 2017, the Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU) is a community of organisations and individuals committed to the urgent need to transform the way we produce and consume food and use our land for people, nature and climate. We support science-based solutions and help build a shared understanding of the challenges and opportunities to unlock collective, ambitious action. We build on the work of the Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land Use and Energy (FABLE) Consortium teams which operate in more than 20 countries. Our strength comes from a growing community of country platforms, core partners, FOLU Ambassadors, funders, connecting those who share our mission: to ensure food and land use systems play their full role in delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement to ensure the future prosperity of all people and to protect and restore our planet’s vital ecosystems. Food and land use systems involve every factor in the ways land is used and food is produced, stored, packed, processed, traded, distributed, marketed, consumed and disposed of. We bring together the public and private sectors, the research community and civil society, to harness expertise and enable systems thinking approaches. We are committed to the urgent need for food and land use transformation to create a healthier planet and healthier people. Get involved today if you have something to bring to the table. It is in all our hands.

With Balipara Foundation, we took the consultation on addressing hidden costs of the Indian food system to the eastern part of the country in the second leg of the regional consultation series. About 43 participants from 18 grassroot-level CSOs shared views and exchanged knowledge on practical pathways for achieving #sustainablefoodsystem in the northeastern region. #Guwahati Here is a glimpse👇🏼 Know more about this: https://bit.ly/3S6JvTz

Women account for 43% of the global agricultural labour force, and play an outsized role in sustaining the health and nutrition of households worldwide. Yet despite their central role in ensuring #GoodFood4All, women farmers receive just 10% of total aid for agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and a mere 5% of all agricultural extension services globally. As leaders turn their sights to building #NaturePositive #FoodSystems at #COP16 in Colombia, it is vital that they keep an equal focus on removing the barriers that women face in accessing land, resources, finance, markets, technology and employment opportunities further up the value chain, highlights Morgan Gillespy in a new interview with El Espectador's Silvia Corredor Rodríguez. "My daughter just turned six and I want to be an example to her of what we can achieve as women. That we can support each other and lift each other up, that we can be mothers, daughters, sisters and partners, as well as leaders, entrepreneurs, policy makers and innovators. It’s so important that women are visible in all the critical work we do, whether it’s caring for the earth or leading environmental coalitions."

📸 Country impact snapshot: FOLU Ethiopia Faced with rapid population growth and increasing climate shocks, the Ethiopian government has set ambitious #FoodSecurity targets that would require the country’s 16.7 million agricultural households to raise their productivity levels. While new crop varieties, increased fertilizer supply and better market linkages have raised national cereal yields and farmers’ incomes considerably over the past decade, it is essential that these gains are not undermined in future by irreversible soil degradation and increased climate vulnerability due to unsustainable agricultural practices. To support the country in meeting its agricultural productivity goals sustainably, FOLU Ethiopia has been working to support the Ministry of Agriculture, Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Institute (ATI), Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research, Sasakawa Africa Association (SAA) and Farm Radio International to integrate more regenerative, nutrition-sensitive and inclusive practices into the government’s Agricultural Commercialization Clusters (ACC) initiative. The project aims to enter its next stage in 2025, when FOLU Ethiopia and its partners will be piloting a framework for scaling regenerative agricultural approaches with 20 clusters of experimental farms across multiple growing seasons. The framework has been designed so that it can be easily applied to more than 300 districts of the ACC initiative, which currently reaches 1.7 million farmers, and exposes a further two million to agricultural innovations.

📸 Country impact snapshot: FOLU Indonesia The triple burden of malnutrition is of pressing concern to Indonesia, where overreliance on a single staple crop – rice 🍚 – is exacerbating obesity, stunting and micronutrient deficiencies. Shifting consumption towards local, diverse and nutrient-dense food varieties through an ‘eco-regional’ approach offers the country a major opportunity to not only meet its public health targets, but to also reduce methane emissions from rice cultivation, improve rural livelihoods, and alleviate pressure on forests and peatlands due to agricultural expansion. Recognizing this, FOLU Indonesia has been scaling the evidence base for eco-regional approaches across the country’s six major islands, and working with the Ministry of National Development (Bappenas) to establish a multistakeholder platform for integrated, collaborative and inclusive dialogue on #FoodSystems transformation. So far, the platform has catalyzed subnational political support for food-regionalization in three of Indonesia’s key landscapes, and the Government has signalled endorsement of eco-regional approaches in its National long-term development plan. Read more about our efforts to accelerate #ActionOnFood in Indonesia in our first Impact Report, which provides a snapshot of FOLU’s progress in seven countries over the 2021-2024 period 👇 https://lnkd.in/dxZAfN6Z Koalisi Sistem Pangan Lestari

The new #SOFI2024 report released by FAO, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), UNICEF, the World Food Programme and the World Health Organization last week paints a sobering picture of progress on global hunger: 🚨 Roughly 733 million people faced hunger in 2023 – equivalent to one in eleven people globally, and one in five in Africa 🚨 2.33 billion people globally faced moderate or severe food insecurity – a number that has not changed significantly since the outbreak of Covid-19 in 2020 🚨 Women, youth and Indigenous Peoples continue to be disproportionately affected by hunger, malnutrition and food insecurity 🚨 309 million people currently face acute food insecurity, of whom 37.2 million are experiencing hunger at emergency levels 🚨 71.5 percent of people in low-income countries cannot afford a healthy diet, compared to 6.3 percent in high-income countries 🚨 Current levels of undernourishment are comparable to those in 2008-9 🚨 If current trends continue roughly 582 million people will face chronic undernourishment and 1.2 billion adults will be obese by 2030 🚨 Low-income countries face the greatest challenges in accessing finance to address food insecurity, despite experiencing hunger and malnutrition at the most severe levels. With just 6 years left to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we join #HungryforAction and SDG2 Advocacy Hub in calling on #G20 governments to step up their efforts to address the #GlobalFoodCrisis, and end hunger and malnutrition in all its forms. We also urge non-state actors to keep sounding the drum on hunger, and shining light on the solutions, innovations, policy shifts and investment opportunities that are available today to achieve #GoodFood4All by 2030. This year’s G20 Summit, Africa #Food Systems Forum and fall meetings of the The World Bank and International Monetary Fund are major opportunities to raise ambition and unlock a course correction.
