No results found.The territory of Kyrgyzstan has a high degree of concentration of biodiversity not only at ecosystem level, but also in terms of the species present. Despite the size for the territory being only 0.13% of the Earth’s surface, the Kyrgyz Republic has a relatively high diversity of species reportedly 1% of all known species. Forest ecosystems are the center of origin of cultivated plants, a depository of biodiversity and genetic resources of flora and fauna. Forest genetic resources in the Kyrgyz Republic are priceless treasure for the improvement of the gene pool and for future improvement in productivity. This is supported by a rich biodiversity of forest species of ligneous plants and the ability of many species to grow in a wide variety of climatic conditions. -

No results found.This report summarizes the state of Forest Genetic Resources (FGR) in the Republic of Uzbekistan as at the 1st January 2011. It represents the Country Report contributing to the World State of Forestry Genetic Resources assessment being prepared by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The territory of Uzbekistan is one of the centers of origin of many plants that are part of modern life. Among them there are many types of forest trees and shrubs that are important for soil conservation, recreation, food, medicinal and other uses. Many of these trees and shrubs: walnut, pistachio, almond, apple-tree, poplar, juniper, saxaul and many others occupy an important place in the life of mankind. -

No results found.The territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan is rich in flora (Figure 4). In a comparatively small area one can find many species of plant that are also prevalent in other parts of the world. There are approximately 4500 species of higher, spore and flowering plants growing in Azerbaijan that stem from approximately 125 families and 930 genera . Taking into account the total number of types of flora of Azerbaijan the country has a richer diversity compared with other Caucasian countries. The plan ts that grow in Azerbaijan in total make up 66% of all growing plants in the Caucasus’s. In addition to common Caucasian species of flora, Azerbaijan maintains over 70 endemic tree and bush species unique to the forests of Azerbaijan.

ArticleJournal articleNurturing Soil Life through Agroforestry – The Roles of Trees in the Ecological Intensification of Agriculture 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Soil resources constitute the very foundation of agriculture, so sustainable agriculture is inherently dependent on soil health. Soil health reflects the capacity of soil to respond beneficially to agricultural management, maintaining both agricultural production and the provision of varying ecosystem services, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity conservation in the long term. Soil health depends on the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the soil that are required for plant growth and development. Ecological intensification differs from current strategies for agricultural intensification by embracing agroecological transitions to more sustainable agriculture and food systems. This chapter discusses the pivotal role that trees play in building and maintaining the soil health and functional resilience that are required for the ecological intensification of agriculture. It summarizes the current knowledge about functions and impacts of trees on soil health, and highlights the tree/soil biodiversity interactions that drive these functions. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
