    The present report is the outcome of the joint call on good practices on Digital Excellence in Agriculture, organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Office for Europe and Office for CIS and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations Office for Europe and Central Asia. The document presents a summary version of the 171 eligible submissions of good practices and innovative solutions advancing the digital transformation of agriculture in Europe and Central Asia. This call complements the joint FAO-ITU review on the Status of Digital Agriculture in 18 countries of Europe and Central Asia (ITU-FAO, 2020)1 and provides evidence on how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) play an emerging role in the agriculture landscapes of the regions, acting as an engine for agricultural development. However, the adoption of digital technologies in agriculture differs from country to country, and from region to region. The review in the 18 countries highlighted that smallholder farmers have yet to experience the widespread benefits of this digital transformation, and they are lagging behind when it comes to the adoption of digital agriculture solutions and innovations due to lack of trust in the potential of ICTs, limited digital skills, connectivity issues and restricted availability of ICT-based solutions to utilize and scale up. Realizing the full potential of digital agriculture transformation requires identifying, sharing and implementing best practices and proven solutions across countries, involving all actors in participatory processes.

    What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.

    The International Poplar Commission (IPC), founded in 1947, is a statutory body of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The functions of the IPC are to: (i) study the scientific, technical, social and economic aspects of poplar and willow cultivation; (ii) promote the exchange of ideas and material between research workers, producers and users; (iii) arrange joint research programs; (iv) stimulate the organization of congresses, meetings and study tours; (v) report and make recommendations to the Conference of FAO through the Director General of FAO; and (vi) make recommendations to National Poplar Commissions through the Director General of FAO and the Governments concerned. At present there are 37 member countries of the IPC, of which 14 are developing countries and five are countries with economies in transition. IPC Sessions are held every four years. The previous meeting was in Budapest, Hungary in 1996. Five Working Parties as subsidiary bodies of the IPC reflect the main issues concerning the cultivation and utilization of the Salicaceae including (i) Poplar and Willow Genetics, Conservation and Improvement; (ii) Poplar and Willow Diseases; (iii) Poplar and Willow Insect and Animal Pests; (iv) Production Systems and Environmental Applications for Poplars and Willows; and (v) Logging and Utilization of Poplar and Willow Wood. There is also a Sub-committee on Poplar and Willow Nomenclature and Registration. This report includes sub mitted abstracts to the meeting organizers including invited papers, oral presentations, and visual presentations (posters). They are listed here in alphabetical order by senior author's last name (from A to Z).
