Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity – Status, challenges and potentialities. Summary for policy makers 2020There is increasing attention on the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This summary for policy makers presents the key findings of the main report and is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative and the European Commission. The summary for policy makers presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. This report is a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.

FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper 26/2
1975Also available in:
No results found.This publication is the result of a joint effort by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) in producing a Handbook on small hydraulic structures and devices used in open- channel irrigation distribution systems. There has been general recognition of a need to review the abundant information and experience available on the subject and to condense and dovetail them into a comprehensive and practical Handb ook. Much basic material for the Handbook has been generously provided by National Committees of the ICID and by FAO projects and contacts in Member Countries, while complementary data and information have been assembled from the extensive survey of the literature.
