    Welcome to FAO’s e-bulletin on the post-2015 development agenda. In this issue, we bring you news of a side event organised by the UN Rome-based agencies on financing SDG2 ahead of July’s Third International Conference on Financing for Development. Rural actors and agents of change are the focus of a feature article and photo gallery. Boubaker Ben-Belhassen, FAO post-2015 focal point, writes on the comprehensive approach to food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture of SDG2. We present a booklet listing 100 facts linking people, food and the planet, and, in the international year of soils, deliver a story-video-infographic package on the natural resource’s links to sustainable development.

    Water is a key determinant in all aspects of social, economic and environmental development and should therefore be a central focus of any post-2015 framework for poverty eradication, food security, resilience to natural and human-induced disasters, and global sustainable development.
