DocumentOther documentGlobal Soil Partnership. Regional Implementation Plan of the NENA Soil Partnership: towards sustainable management of soil resources 2015
Also available in:
No results found.This work is the result of the efforts of many international and regional soil experts unified by the FAO Global Soil Partnership (GSP). Experts from Near East North Africa (NENA) region met in Amman Conference (1-3 June 2015) and, with the support of the FAO GSP Secretariat, analyzed the state of soil degradation and soil management in NENA region. They used the endorsed Plans of Actions (PoAs) of the FAO Five Pillars and formulated the Regional Implementation Plan of the NENA Soil Partnership (RSP) showing strong will to protect the soil resources in the region and globally. The report contains the Regional Implementation Plan (RIP) developed in close cooperation with the NENA Five Working Groups formed during the conference and the focal points of GSP from the NENA countries. It includes participatory regional implementation plan defining outcomes, activities, actors and partners, time frame and potential resources partners, partners and implementation risks.

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyBioinsumos: Oportunidades de inversión en América Latina 2023
Also available in:
Los bioinsumos son una pieza clave de la transición agroecológica y pueden facilitar el acceso de los productos agrícolas a algunos exigentes mercados internacionales. A su vez, la promoción y aplicación de los bioinsumos enlaza de forma directa con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, ya que permite aumentar la producción y al mismo tiempo conservar y dar valor a la biodiversidad, incrementando la fertilidad de los suelos agrícolas sin comprometer el medio ambiente ni la salud de las personas. Sin embargo, en la región aún existen diversos riesgos y limitantes para su uso y desarrollo. El estudio “Bioinsumos: oportunidades de inversión en América Latina”, explora estos limitantes y brinda orientaciones y recomendaciones específicas para gobiernos, instituciones nacionales e internacionales, productores agrícolas y empresas sobre el uso de los bioinsumos en la región de América Latina y el Caribe. Esta publicación forma parte de la serie Direcciones de inversión del programa Conocimiento para la inversión (K4I) del Centro de Inversiones de la FAO. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSustainable use and conservation of soil microorganisms and invertebrates contributing to bioremediation and nutrient cycling 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Following up on previous reports prepared for the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, and acknowledging FAO’s long tradition of technical work on the management of microorganisms and invertebrates in food and agriculture, the present paper responds to the need for a detailed assessment of the state of art in the conservation and sustainable use of soil microorganisms and invertebrates. It focuses on microorganisms and invertebrates contributing to nutrient cycling and the removal of contaminants from soils.The study is based on an extensive literature review and summarizes current views on the taxonomy, conservation, use and exchange of soil microorganisms and invertebrates, highlighting knowledge gaps, needs and challenges. In order to encompass the views of a wide range of stakeholders on knowledge gaps and critical issues related to the conservation and sustainable use of these organisms, the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) circulated an invitation to complete an open online survey to several hundred researchers, institutions and organizations worldwide. Twenty-seven responses were received and evaluated. AIT also organized an online expert workshop entitled Status and Trends of Conservation of Soil Microorganisms and Invertebrates, with Emphasis on Bioremediation and Nutrient Cycling Organisms. Twenty-six international experts participated in three parallel sessions: (i) nutrient cycling in soil; (ii) bioremediation in food and agriculture systems; and (iii) conservation of microorganisms and invertebrates, practices, policies and needs. The issues raised in the survey responses and at the workshop were taken into account in the drafting of the study.
