Natural resources are essential to food production, enhanced rural development and sustainable livelihoods. Conflicts and competition over access to, and the use of these resources are likely to increase in many regions and will be exacerbated by changing growing conditions, increased water scarcity, loss of biodiversity, extreme weather events and other effects of climate change. The sustainable management of natural resources for the benefit of present and future generations requires addressing key aspects of natural resources and their governance across all sectors. This video comments on FAO's work to support to smallholders in developping sustainable management systems that support development while conserving resources for future generations, presented at the 2012 FAO Committee on Agriculture exhibits on Fighting hunger through sustainable smallholder agriculture.
