The 2024 edition of the State of the World's Forests report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) focuses on Forest-Sector Innovations Towards a More Sustainable Future, highlighting the barriers to, and opportunities for, innovation in the forestry sector to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals.
In 2011, Platform members developed new strategies to improve agricultural production, increase access to markets, manage risk, and improve the livelihoods of rural people. The Platform continued its dual role as advocate and knowledge broker.
The study, commissioned by the Global Donor Platform for Rural Development, analyzes development assistance to agriculture and rural development (ARD) and food security. By improving the understanding and handling of aid flows to ARD and food security, the study aims to contribute to strengthening transparency, accountability and the effectiveness of aid in this policy domain.
The Platform’s contribution towards integrating the different approaches being used in agriculture and rural development in 2010 is the reason for the title of this report "Like minds, diverse strengths: Networking together". It outlines how the Platform helped different actors to interact and move towards a more coordinated approach to influencing agendas and tackling rural poverty.
