BookletCorporate general interestEcosystem-based adaptation in the agriculture sector - A nature-based solution (NbS) for building the resilience of the food and agriculture sector to climate change 2020
Also available in:
No results found.To enhance the knowledge base and support the uptake of good practices for ongoing work on adaptation planning, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of best adaptation practices, FAO organized a series of webinar sessions on “Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) in the Agriculture Sector” in 2017 and 2018. This document serves to outline the priority nature-based interventions for adaptation in the food and agriculture sector as articulated in countries’ nationally determined contributions (NDCs), and as illustrated through the best case practices showcased during the EbA webinar series. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportA protocol for measurement, monitoring, reporting and verification of soil organic carbon in agricultural landscapes
GSOC-MRV Protocol
2020Also available in:
No results found.This document provides a conceptual framework and standard methodologies for the monitoring, reporting and verification of changes in SOC stocks and GHG emissions/removals from agricultural projects that adopt sustainable soil management practices (SSM) at farm level. It is intended to be applied in different agricultural lands, including annual and perennial crops (food, fibre, forage and bioenergy crops), paddy rice, grazing lands with livestock including pastures, grasslands, rangelands, shrublands, silvopasture and agroforestry. Although developed for projects carried out at farm level, potential users include investors, research institutions, government agencies, consultants, agricultural companies, NGOs, individual farmers or farmer associations, supply chain and other users who are interested in measuring and estimating SOC stocks and changes and GHG emissions in response to management practices. The document is an outcome of the successful Global Symposium on Soil Organic Carbon (GSOC17), which was held in Rome in March 2017. The document is of technical nature in support of the Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration work. Its use is not mandatory but of voluntary nature. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookInstrumento para la evaluación del desempeño agroecológico (TAPE) - Versión de prueba
Proceso de desarrollo y directrices para la aplicación
2021Also available in:
La agroecología tiene el potencial de transformar nuestros sistemas alimentarios y hacerlos más sostenibles. Está generando un creciente interés político a nivel nacional e internacional y la evidencia armonizada de su impacto positivo podría apoyar el proceso de transición. Desarrollada a través de un extenso proceso participativo de múltiples partes interesadas, el Instrumento para la Evaluación del Desempeño Agroecológico (TAPE) de la FAO tiene como objetivo evaluar el desempeño multidimensional de la agroecología en diversos contextos, territorios y regiones. Este documento explica cómo se desarrolló el instrumento y cuáles son sus principios subyacentes y componentes metodológicos. Proporciona orientación sobre cómo utilizar TAPE para realizar un diagnóstico de los sistemas productivos, su transición agroecológica y sus contribuciones a las diversas dimensiones de la sostenibilidad.

BookletCorporate general interestStandard operating procedure for soil pH determination 2021
Also available in:
Soils are referred to as being acid, neutral, or alkaline, depending on their pH, with 7 being neutral, below 7 acidic and above 7 alkaline. The pH range normally found in soils varies from 3 to 9. As pH is measured in terms of hydrogen ion activity, pH is thus a measure of only the intensity of H+ activity and not the amount of acidity present. The desirable soil pH range for optimum plant growth varies among crops. Generally, a soil pH between 6.0-7.5 is acceptable for most plants, as most nutrients are available in this pH range. However, some plants have soil pH requirements above or below this range. An acidic pH may cause higher mobility of toxic elements potentially leaching into ground water or taken up and accumulated in plants. Additionally, inhibited plant growth may be observed in low pH soils due to aluminum toxicity. In higher pH soils, phosphorus and most micronutrients may become less available. As the pH value of many soils correlates with base saturation, it may also be used in the field for preliminary classification purposes.
