    This document provides a conceptual framework and standard methodologies for the monitoring, reporting and verification of changes in SOC stocks and GHG emissions/removals from agricultural projects that adopt sustainable soil management practices (SSM) at farm level. It is intended to be applied in different agricultural lands, including annual and perennial crops (food, fibre, forage and bioenergy crops), paddy rice, grazing lands with livestock including pastures, grasslands, rangelands, shrublands, silvopasture and agroforestry. Although developed for projects carried out at farm level, potential users include investors, research institutions, government agencies, consultants, agricultural companies, NGOs, individual farmers or farmer associations, supply chain and other users who are interested in measuring and estimating SOC stocks and changes and GHG emissions in response to management practices. The document is an outcome of the successful Global Symposium on Soil Organic Carbon (GSOC17), which was held in Rome in March 2017. The document is of technical nature in support of the Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration work. Its use is not mandatory but of voluntary nature.

    Restauration et action climatique: appui à l’élaboration de la composante Djibouti du projet régional GCF SURAGGWA – TCP/DJI/3802 2025

    Les secteurs de la forêt, de l'agriculture, de l'élevage et des autres usages des terres jouent un rôle essentiel dans la lutte contre le changement climatique, particulièrement en matière d'adaptation et d'atténuation. En réduisant les émissions et en favorisant la séquestration du carbone, ces secteurs contribuent à limiter l'impact environnemental. À Djibouti, où plus de 80 pour cent du territoire est classé aride ou semi-aride, la pression sur les ressources naturelles est accrue par la croissance démographique, l'urbanisation et les effets du changement climatique, exacerbant la dégradation des terres et menaçant la sécurité alimentaire et les moyens de subsistance locaux. Ainsi, le Gouvernement djiboutien a rejoint l’initiative de la Grande muraille verte (GMV) en 2010 et a adopté une stratégie et un plan d’action pour sa mise en œuvre en 2011. Cette stratégie vise à restaurer les sols, à préserver la biodiversité, et à diversifier les systèmes d’exploitation dans une perspective de résilience face aux défis climatiques et socioéconomiques. À long terme, elle entend renforcer la séquestration du carbone et améliorer les conditions de vie des communautés locales, tout en contribuant à inverser les flux migratoires vers des zones restaurées.

    The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets 2022
    The geography of food and agricultural trade: Policy approaches for sustainable development
    2022
    Also available in:
    The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets 2022 (SOCO 2022) discusses how trade policies, based on both multilateral and regional approaches, can address today’s challenges for sustainable development. Trade policies in food and agriculture should aim to safeguard global food security, address the trade-offs between economic and environmental objectives, and strengthen the resilience of the global agrifood system to shocks, such as conflicts, pandemics and extreme weather. The report discusses the geography of trade, analysing food and agricultural trade and its patterns across countries and regions, its drivers and the trade policy environment. Comparative advantage, trade policies and trade costs shape the patterns of trade in food and agriculture. When comparative advantage plays out in the global market, trade benefits all countries. Lowering tariff barriers and reducing trade costs can promote trade and economic growth. Both multilateral and regional trade agreements can facilitate the process of making trade an avenue for growth but the gains of trade are distributed unevenly. When global environmental impacts, such as climate change, are considered, a multilateral approach to trade can help expand the reach of mitigation measures.
