The food security of billions of people worldwide depends on how secure their tenure is over the land, forests and fisheries they own or manage. That’s why FAO is rolling out the internationally agreed “Voluntary Guidelines on Responsible Governance of Tenure” with a series of technical awareness-raising workshops across Europe and Central Asia starting today.

Seven workshops will be organized between now and the end of 2015, in Albania, Armenia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova and Tajikistan.
