Synopsis (short abstract) Une mission conjointe FAO/PAM d’évaluation des récoltes et de la sécurité alimentaire (CFSAM) s’est rendue au Swaziland du 11 au 22 mai 2015 à l'invitation du Gouvernement du Swaziland afin d’estimer la production de maïs 2014/15 et d'évaluer la situation de la sécurité alimentaire. L'invitation a été adressée suite à une période de sécheresse prolongée entre janvier et mars 2015, qui a soulevé de sérieuses préoccupations quant aux répercussions possibles sur la récolte 2015 de maïs, en particul ier dans les zones agro-écologiques de Lowveld et du plateau de Lubombo.

    Soil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
    Also available in:
    Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion.

    The guidelines are the first comprehensive, global instrument on tenure and its administration to be prepared through intergovernmental negotiations. The guidelines set out principles and internationally accepted standards of responsible practices for the use and control of land, fisheries and forests. They provide guidance for improving the policy, legal and organizational frameworks that regulate tenure rights; for enhancing the transparency and administration of tenure systems; and for strengthening the capacities and operations of public bodies, private sector enterprises, civil society organizations and people concerned with tenure and its governance. The guidelines place the governance of tenure within the context of national food security, and are intended to contribute to the progressive realization of the right to adequate food, poverty eradication, environmental protection and sustainable social and economic development.
