Book (stand-alone)Technical bookУстойчивое управление почвенными ресурсами в Евразийском регионе 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Устойчивое управление почвенными ресурса-ми — единственный путь к сохранению почв как важнейшего компонента природного капитала, обеспечивающего не только урожайность продо-вольственных и кормовых культур, но и произ-водство многочисленных дополнительных эко-системных услуг. В Евразийском регионе, несмотря на огром-ную площадь и высокую обеспеченность земель-ными ресурсами, проблемы рационального ис-пользования почв стоят необычайно остро. На его территории сходятся два принципиально различных механизма деградации земель: пер-вый связан с низким технологическим уровнем земледелия, а второй — с избыточным давлени-ем высокотехнологичной обработки почвы и хи-мизации сельского хозяйства. Данная книга была написана именно в рамках до-кументов, использованных ФАО, и по сути явля-ется первым опытом регионального применения рекомендаций, изложенных в Добровольных ру-ководящих принципах рационального использо-вания почвенных ресурсов и ряде уточняющих документов. Мы отдаем себе отчет в огромном разнообра-зии природных условий и специализации сельско-го хозяйства на огромной территории, занимаю-щей 1/6 часть суши. Поэтому в книге широкими мазками даются только наиболее общие сведения по УУПР в каждой из стран и их природно-тер-риториальных единицах. Очевидно, что вырабо-танные нами рекомендации должны будут вне-дряться в практику уже на национальном и локальном уровнях. Тем не менее мы надеемся, что издание позволит выработать общую основу для сохранения и улучшения почвенных ресур-сов, которые являются основой существования нашей цивилизации. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Agro-Ecological Zoning Atlas
Part 1: Agro-climatic indicators
2019Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture is crucial for the national economy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Adoption of new strategies for agriculture monitoring, rural land use planning, and management are urgently required to reduce hunger and poverty and to assure sustainable food and feed production for future generations. The availability of reliable information on natural resources and agriculture for its monitoring and analysis is indispensable to the development and implementation of such strategies. For this purpose the project “Strengthening Afghanistan Institutions’ Capacity for the Assessment of Agriculture Production and Scenario Development” (GCP/AFG/087/EC), funded by the European Union (EU), is implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Within the context of this project, FAO and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) are developing a National Agro-Ecological Zoning activity (NAEZ) in Afghanistan. This Atlas is the first of two books and provides the collected information and maps of the country based on the agro-climatic Indicators. -
