Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Symposium on Soil Erosion (GSER 2019): Symposium working documents
Assessment tools, management practices and economics of soil erosion
2019Also available in:
No results found.At its Sixth Session in June 2018, the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) Plenary Assembly (PA), upon request of its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS), voted to organize a Symposium on soil erosion “considering that this is the main threat affecting global soils”. The Symposium aims to incentivize bottom-up global soil erosion assessments under the umbrella of the Food and Agriculture’s (FAO) GSP. The Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (GSER19) is organized around three key themes: 1. Soil erosion assessment tools and data: creation, consolidation and harmonization; 2. Best erosion management practices of the last 20 years and policy support to address human-induced erosion; 3. The economics of soil erosion Although the three themes will be treated separately during the Symposium, they are inter-related. Prior to the GSER19 and for each of the themes, working groups were set up with the objective of discussing the key topics to be tackled for each theme. The discussions held within each of the three working groups were then translated into working documents that are presented in this final document. The three theme working documents will eventually assist the GSP and its partners in planning upcoming actions to address soil erosion at the global, regional and local level. A revised version of this document will be included in the outcome c of the Symposium, which will be published after the event. The working groups were composed of experts, members of the GSP’s ITPS, and the Science-Policy Interface of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (SPI-UNCCD), who participated on a voluntary basis. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil 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. -

DocumentOther document中国的粮食和农业生物学多样性国家报告 2019
Also available in:
No results found.These country reports are prepared as a contribution to the FAO publication, The State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture. The preparation of Country Reports provided an overview of existing information gaps and helped to establish a baseline information on biodiversity for food and agriculture. They also provided information on the role of biodiversity for food and agriculture in the provision of multiple ecosystem services. These country reports helped to address the following questions: • What is the state of the conservation and use of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, ecosystem services and sustainability? • What trends can be identified in the conservation and use of biodiversity for food and agriculture and in the effects of major drivers of change? • How can conservation and use of biodiversity for food and agriculture be improved and the contributions of biodiversity to food security and nutrition, ecosystem services, sustainability and the improvement of livelihoods of farmers, pastoralists, forest dwellers and fisher folk be enhanced? -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
