These efforts include the Global Programme on Sustainable Dryland Agriculture, the Dryland Restoration Initiative Platform, FAO’s Action Against Desertification Program, the FAO South – South Cooperation Program, and ongoing work under Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands among many other planned and ongoing initiatives of direct importance to this Impact Program. Concurrent with the launch of the Dryland Sustainable Landscapes Program, FAO will also launch the UN Decade for Ecosystem Restoration along with a global effort to mobilize resources to advance restoration goals in all major ecosystems. Finally, FAO will mobilize and invest new resources in the domains of knowledge and capacity building through initiatives such as the Agroecology Knowledge Hub, the Farmer Field School Platform, the Pastoral Systems Knowledge Hub, the Global Soil Partnership, the Forest and Farm Facility, and the Committee on Forestry Working Group on Dryland Forests and Agrosilvopastoral Systems.
