Fao and Traditional Knowledge: The Linkages With Sustainability, Food Security and Climate Change Impacts

This activity report discusses the linkage between traditional knowledge, sustainability, food security and climate change. Traditional farming, fishing, pastoralism/herding, foraging and forestry are based on long established knowledge and practices that help to ensure food and agricultural diversity, valuable landscape and seascape features, livelihoods and food security. In addition, the report presents FAO projects that support the use of traditional knowledge to promote rural development, gender equity, conservation of biocultural diversity, and sustainable management of agro-ecosystems, among others.
