Internationally, the Landscapes for People, Food and Nature was launched in 2011, as a partnership to support and promote scaling of multi-objective landscapes around the world. Led by FAO, UNEP, IFAD, Conservation International, Biodiversity International, World Agroforestry Centre, the Government of the Netherlands, the World Resources Institute and EcoAgriculture Partners, collaborative work is underway on knowledge-sharing, policy, finance, business engagement and research. Continental inventories underway by the partners have already identified more than 300 such initiatives in Latin America and more than 150 in Africa, that are seeking to increase agricultural production while at the same time meeting other needs from the land. This presentation will feature summaries of lessons learned so far from the analysis and experiences of the LPFN.
