Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSustainable use and conservation of soil microorganisms and invertebrates contributing to bioremediation and nutrient cycling 2024
Also available in:
No results found.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 book2020年全球森林资源评估
主报告
2021粮农组织于1948年完成了对世界森林资源的首次评估。当时，其主要目标是收集有关可用木材供应的信息，以满足战后重建的需求。从那时起，全球森林资源评估（FRA）已演变成对森林资源及其状况，管理和使用的全面评估，涵盖了可持续森林管理的所有主题要素。这是这些评估中的最新评估，它借鉴了全球数百名专家的努力，研究了1990-2020年期间森林资源的状况和趋势。FRA2020的制作还涉及许多合作伙伴组织之间的合作，从而减轻了国家的报告负担，增强了报告流程之间的协同作用，并改善了数据一致性。2020年森林资源评估的结果有多种格式，包括本报告和在线数据库，其中包含国家和地区的原始投入以及案头研究以及粮农组织编写的区域和全球分析。 -

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
