GLOBAL: WORLD FOOD MAP: INTEGRATION OF NEGLECTED AND UNDERUTILIZED SPECIES (NUS)

Under the framework of the Global Regulatory and Fiscal Capacity Building Programme (Global RECAP), this sub-project aims to strengthen the global knowledge and capacity of public institutions and decision makers, and provide evidence-based and coordinated guidance on creating healthier food environments for all through an interactive map that identifies foods consumed by people in each ecoregion and their composition.

Key Initiatives

  • Achieving Justice For All
  • The agricultural sector in low income countries has suffered from serious underinvestment for decades, with considerable consequences for long-term food security. The investment needed to eradicate hunger by 2030 has been estimated at US$1.5 billion annual additional investments per year, of which US$276 million is required for rural development and agriculture.
  • Dealing with ecosystem degradation has long been seen as the purview of environmentalists alone. With the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), biodiversity has been recognized as essential to human resilience and economic opportunity, and its preservation requires action from all sectors of society.
  • In 2015, IDLO and Majority World launched an international photography exhibition about justice, the rule of law and sustainable development called 'In Focus: Justice and the Post-2015 Agenda'. Click here to visit the In Focus: Justice and the Post-2015 Agenda micro-site to read information about the exhibition, learn more about the photographers and view the images.
