Book (stand-alone)General interest bookGender and ICTs - Mainstreaming gender in the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for agriculture and rural development 2018
Also available in:
No results found.While the digital revolution is reaching rural areas in many developing countries, the rural digital divide continues to present considerable challenges. The problem is even more acute for women, who face a triple divide: digital, rural and gender. This publication looks at the benefits of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) when placed in the hands of men and women working in agriculture and in rural areas. It examines the challenges to be overcome and makes recommendations so that rural communities can take full and equal advantage of the technologies. FAO’s E-agriculture 10 Year Review Report on implementation of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) of the Action Line C7. ICT Applications: e-agriculture concludes that while substantial progress has been made in making ICTs available and accessible for rural communities, challenges remain with respect to the following seven critical factors for success: content, capacity development, gender and diversity, access and participation, partnerships, technologies, and finally, economic, social, and environmental sustainability. This publication analyses with the gender lens the seven factors of success, followed by an overview of the general existing barriers to women’s access to, control and use of ICTs. Finally, it offers a series of recommendations for better integration of gender in ICT initiatives, based on gender mainstreaming throughout the seven critical factors of success, illustrated with concrete examples -

Глобальная программа «Доктора для почв»
2022Этот плакат один из информационных материалов для фермеров в рамках Глобальной Почвенной программы "доктора почв". Программа представляет собой форму обучения от фермера к фермеру, и плакат будет использоваться фермерами для обучения и изучения функций почвы и проблем, связанных с почвами. Этот плакат представляет, как управлять почвами, подверженными воздействию соли, и соответствует выполнению Добровольных Руководящих принципов по устойчивому управлению почвами и поддержанию здоровых почв и безопасности пищевых продуктов в соответствии с Целями устойчивого развития и Стратегическими целями ФАО. Это способствует усилиям по искоренению голода, недоедания, адаптации к изменению климата, деградации земель и общему устойчивому развитию.

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookSoil pollution: a hidden reality 2018This document presents key messages and the state-of-the-art of soil pollution, its implications on food safety and human health. It aims to set the basis for further discussion during the forthcoming Global Symposium on Soil Pollution (GSOP18), to be held at FAO HQ from May 2nd to 4th 2018. The publication has been reviewed by the Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soil (ITPS) and contributing authors. It addresses scientific evidences on soil pollution and highlights the need to assess the extent of soil pollution globally in order to achieve food safety and sustainable development. This is linked to FAO’s strategic objectives, especially SO1, SO2, SO4 and SO5 because of the crucial role of soils to ensure effective nutrient cycling to produce nutritious and safe food, reduce atmospheric CO2 and N2O concentrations and thus mitigate climate change, develop sustainable soil management practices that enhance agricultural resilience to extreme climate events by reducing soil degradation processes. This document will be a reference material for those interested in learning more about sources and effects of soil pollution.
