Territorial Governance and Policies for Food Security and Nutrition: joint FAO, OECD, UNCDF Publication and Conference on the Territorial Approach to FSN Policies within the framework of the Expo Milan 2015 Globally, the world produces enough food to feed everyone. Yet, 870 million of people suffer from hunger and malnutrition. This ?paradox? ? which His Holiness Pope Francis I called it ?intolerable?, when he addressed the delegates of FAO Conference at the Vatican on June 20th  - is caused by multiple factors. As of now, policies to confront hunger have been based principally on centrally-led and short-term relief approaches with a focus mainly on increasing food production through sectorial and pro-growth policies, thus resulting in overall modest effect on reducing hunger and malnutrition (MDG1) and increasing disparities and inequalities among people and geographic areas at the sub-national level.
There is increasing recognition that territorial approaches provide a suitable framework to address the structural and emerging issues of food and nutrition security, including widening within-country inequalities and disparities in so far as they allow the exploration of the multi-dimensional, multi-actor and multi-level nature of food and nutrition security. By recognizing the diversity of geographic spaces and of their capacity to react to shocks (external and internal), they are also suitable to tackle the sources of inequality. This involves among other things strengthening and harnessing the potential of local institutions and putting them at the forefront of the battle again

Strengthening Agricultural Water Efficiency and Productivity on the African and Global Level Africa is a rural continent where agriculture plays an important role in its social and economic development. The agricultural sector accounts for about 60 % of the total labour force, 20 % of total merchandise exports and 17 % of the GDP. Notwithstanding the importance of the sector, productivity levels are far from reaching its full potential.
In rainfed areas, which are predominant in the continent, reliance on irregular and unreliable rainfall is one of the major causes behind the low crop yields that characterize African agriculture. In irrigated areas, the lack of modern irrigation systems and the bad state of infrastructure lead to considerable water losses, that eventually is translated into lower productivity levels. This, coupled with inadequate farming management practices, has resulted in low water productivity and use efficiency in both irrigated and rainfed areas.
