FOREST AND AGRICULTURAL LAND
OUR ACTION TODAY
As the greatest reservoir of terrestrial biodiversity, land and forests are powerful tools for climate regulation. Today, urbanisation and unsustainable agricultural practices have considerably diminished their ability to support biodiversity and store carbon. Agriculture is the primary cause of deforestation and land degradation. The FFEM addresses forestry and agricultural issues together, as they are closely
linked. Our goal is to simultaneously protect biodiversity, take climate action, and fight against desertification and land degradation.

Integrated forest management
A multidiciplinary approach
Forests and agricultural land are both strongly affected by the environmental crisis and at the centre of the many human activities that contribute to it. We must therefore promote sustainable agricultural and forestry production methods to complement ecosystem conservation and restoration efforts and climate adaptation and mitigation initiatives. Furthermore, converting agricultural and forestry products into energy or compost can contribute to circular models. This is why the FFEM encourages cross-cutting forestry and agriculture projects – including those connected to cities and energy access – that take action on biodiversity, land degradation, climate, and pollution.
