Synopsis (short abstract) In response to a request from Azerbaijan, Islamic Republic of Iran, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan for assistance with building capacity in managing the sturgeon fisheries of the Caspian Sea, FAO developed a project entitled “Capacity building for the recovery and management of the sturgeon fisheries of the Caspian Sea” (TCP/INT/3101). At the FAO and the World Bank Planning Workshop in April 2008 where the four countries included in the project, plus the fifth Caspian range state the Rus sian Federation, participated it was agreed: “that a workshop should be held under the TCP Project with the following objectives: (i) identify, develop and test changes to the current stock assessment methodologies; and (ii) identify any support needed from development partners”. Such a workshop would further allow the countries to comply with a request from the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) Animals Committee. In response to the above recommendation, FAO and CITES organized the Technical Workshop on Stock Assessment and Total Allowable Catch (TAC) Methodologies in Rome from 11 to 13 November 2008. That Workshop was attended by four of the Caspian countries, while Islamic Republic of Iran unfortunately was unable to attend.

    State of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities

    There is increasing attention to 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 report 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. It 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. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.

    Soil 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.

    Soil pollution: a hidden reality 2018
    Also available in:
    This document presents key messages and the state-of-the-art of soil pollution, its implications on food safety and human health. It aims to set the basis for further discussion during the forthcoming Global Symposium on Soil Pollution (GSOP18), to be held at FAO HQ from May 2nd to 4th 2018. The publication has been reviewed by the Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soil (ITPS) and contributing authors. It addresses scientific evidences on soil pollution and highlights the need to assess the extent of soil pollution globally in order to achieve food safety and sustainable development. This is linked to FAO’s strategic objectives, especially SO1, SO2, SO4 and SO5 because of the crucial role of soils to ensure effective nutrient cycling to produce nutritious and safe food, reduce atmospheric CO2 and N2O concentrations and thus mitigate climate change, develop sustainable soil management practices that enhance agricultural resilience to extreme climate events by reducing soil degradation processes. This document will be a reference material for those interested in learning more about sources and effects of soil pollution.
