A core partner 

The GLF aims to bridge the gap between local and global stakeholders to build meaningful, cross-sectoral partnerships for sustainable landscapes across the globe. We engage strategically with events and initiatives at global and regional levels, such as the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and Rio conventions.

We also provide communication coverage through our social media channels and digital content platforms such as Landscape News and GLF Live, as well as facilitate global connections at GLF events.

A global collaboration, the Food Systems, Land Use and Restoration Impact Program (FOLUR) works towards transforming food systems through sustainable value chains covering eight commodities in 27 countries.

In cooperation with

FOLUR Impact Program

We need to implement sustainable, integrated policies that address all uses of the land, breaking down the silos of the past and building long-term collaboration.
Intact ecosystems are critically important in ensuring a resilient and sustainable food system as they provide environmental services including regulation of water retention and runoff, crop pollination, and soil retention and fertility.

Commodity Focus

This landscape approach seeks to provide tools and concepts for allocating and managing land to achieve multiple goals – including protecting and conserving landscapes that produce the world’s food – while also reducing poverty.
