A key sphere of focus for the EFSD in terms of the sustainability of food and land use is the need to increase food production to meet the growing demands of a growing global population. At the same time, however, it is essential to ensure that food production is sustainable and does not undermine the long-term viability of the land and natural resources upon which it depends. To address this challenge, the EFSD works to promote the adoption of sustainable agriculture practices, such as precision farming and conservation agriculture, which can help to increase food production while minimizing negative environmental impacts. In addition to promoting sustainable agriculture, the EFSD also works to address issues related to land use and land management. This includes efforts to protect and restore forests, grasslands, and other natural habitats, as well as efforts to promote the sustainable use of land for agriculture, urban development, and other purposes. The EFSD also works to promote policies and programs that support the conservation and restoration of soil health, as well as efforts to address the impacts of climate change on land use and food production.
