Info and Registration: sustainet@gtz.de; "What? Multi-stakeholder discussion on sustainable land use and scaling-up ofgood practices for increased food security and better agriculturalpolicies. Why? Two thirds of the world´s poor live in rural areas, depending mostly onagriculture. With a growing world population and changing patterns ofconsumption, the demand for agricultural produce is going toincrease over the next decades. This will raise pressure on naturalresources. Achieving higher productivity without degrading naturalresources is key to sustainably improving food security in times ofclimate change. Which potential does small scale agriculture have tocontribute to this sustainable productivity increase and at the same timereduce poverty in rural areas?"
