    Guideline
    Good beekeeping practices for sustainable apiculture 2021
    Also available in:
    Bees provide a critical link in the maintenance of ecosystems, pollination. They play a major role in maintaining biodiversity, ensuring the survival of many plants, enhancing forest regeneration, providing sustainability and adaptation to climate change and improving the quality and quantity of agricultural production systems. In fact, close to 75 percent of the world’s crops that produce fruits and seeds for human consumption depend, at least in part, on pollinators for sustained production, yield and quality. Beekeeping, also called apiculture, refers to all activities concerned with the practical management of social bee species. These guidelines aim to provide useful information and suggestions for a sustainable management of bees around the world, which can then be applied to project development and implementation.

    Technical study
    Forty years of community-based forestry 2016
    Also available in:
    Since the 1970s and 1980s, community-based forestry has grown in popularity, based on the concept that local communities, when granted sufficient property rights over local forest commons, can organize autonomously and develop local institutions to regulate the use of natural resources and manage them sustainably. Over time, various forms of community-based forestry have evolved in different countries, but all have at their heart the notion of some level of participation by smallholders and comm unity groups in planning and implementation. This publication is FAO’s first comprehensive look at the impact of community-based forestry since previous reviews in 1991 and 2001. It considers both collaborative regimes (forestry practised on land with formal communal tenure requiring collective action) and smallholder forestry (on land that is generally privately owned). The publication examines the extent of community-based forestry globally and regionally and assesses its effectiveness in del ivering on key biophysical and socioeconomic outcomes, i.e. moving towards sustainable forest management and improving local livelihoods. The report is targeted at policy-makers, practitioners, researchers, communities and civil society.

    Los fertilizantes y su uso
    Una guía de bolsillo para los oficiales de extensión
    2002
    Also available in:
    Esta guía fue preparada originariamente para uso de los oficiales de extensión que trabajaban para el Programa de Fertilizantes de la FAO. La primera edición fue publicada en 1965, la tercera edición en 1978, y su reimpresión en 1986. Para esta nueva, edición 2002, la mayor parte del texto de 1978 ha sido completamente revisado. La información sobre nuevos desarrollos técnicos y conocimientos ha sido incorporada. La guía explica la necesidad de los fertilizantes minerales, su rol e n las plantas y las características del suelo que son importantes para la fertilización. Una nueva sección aporta las recomendaciones generales para cultivos seleccionados. El capítulo sobre «Cómo determinar las necesidades de fertilizantes» incluye información sobre los síntomas de deficiencia y análisis de suelo y de los tejidos de las plantas. Un capítulo es dedicado a explicar y dar sugerencias sobre la presentación de demostraciones de fertilizantes y de las técnicas de ex tensión en general. Las recomendaciones para cultivos seleccionados están basadas en gran parte en IFA «Manual Mundial sobre el Uso de Fertilizantes», 1992. Una información más detallada se encuentra en el Manual disponible en IFA, París *. Inclusive la información mucho más completa dada en el Manual a menudo requerirá modificaciones por el usuario para tomar en cuenta las recomendaciones oficiales de los fertilizantes para los cultivos y suelos locales.
