ProjectFactsheetEmpoderamiento de las Mujeres Rurales del Paraguay para Alcanzar la Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional - TCP/PAR/3503 2019
Also available in:
La mujer rural en el Paraguay se sitúa con frecuencia en situación de pobreza debido a políticas públicas insuficientes para la igualdad, de ahí la escasa representación en la vida pública, con poco acceso laboral, económico y de otros servicios, con el consiguiente impacto negativo en sus condiciones de vida. El objetivo principal del proyecto fue desarrollar un sistema institucional para implementar una ley donde las mujeres rurales pudieran acceder al crédito, a los procesos de capacitación, participación comunitaria y de expresión en la vida política. Mediante las acciones que se llevaron a cabo, el proyecto contribuyó al desarrollo de las capacidades y al empoderamiento de las mujeres rurales, promoviendo su relación con el desarrollo rural en condiciones de igualdad. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSustainable use and conservation of soil microorganisms and invertebrates contributing to bioremediation and nutrient cycling 2024
Also available in:
Following up on previous reports prepared for the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, and acknowledging FAO’s long tradition of technical work on the management of microorganisms and invertebrates in food and agriculture, the present paper responds to the need for a detailed assessment of the state of art in the conservation and sustainable use of soil microorganisms and invertebrates. It focuses on microorganisms and invertebrates contributing to nutrient cycling and the removal of contaminants from soils.The study is based on an extensive literature review and summarizes current views on the taxonomy, conservation, use and exchange of soil microorganisms and invertebrates, highlighting knowledge gaps, needs and challenges. In order to encompass the views of a wide range of stakeholders on knowledge gaps and critical issues related to the conservation and sustainable use of these organisms, the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) circulated an invitation to complete an open online survey to several hundred researchers, institutions and organizations worldwide. Twenty-seven responses were received and evaluated. AIT also organized an online expert workshop entitled Status and Trends of Conservation of Soil Microorganisms and Invertebrates, with Emphasis on Bioremediation and Nutrient Cycling Organisms. Twenty-six international experts participated in three parallel sessions: (i) nutrient cycling in soil; (ii) bioremediation in food and agriculture systems; and (iii) conservation of microorganisms and invertebrates, practices, policies and needs. The issues raised in the survey responses and at the workshop were taken into account in the drafting of the study. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSustainable use and conservation of microbial and invertebrate biological control agents and microbial biostimulants
Background Study Paper No. 71
2023Also available in:
Increasing concerns about the impact of pesticide use on biodiversity and human health, and increasing demand for products from biodiversity-friendly production systems, including organic systems, have led to increasing interest in alternative methods of pest control, including the use of biological control agents. This paper presents an overview of the current status of BCAs and biostimulants (focusing only on micro-organisms and invertebrates) and their management, needs and challenge in terms of improving their management and potential opportunities for the Commission and its Members to contribute to efforts to address these needs and challenges. The scope covers all the sectors of agriculture as defined by FAO, i.e. crop and livestock production, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture.
