Synopsis (short abstract) Cela fait cinq ans que les premières Journées des Terres et des Eaux (JTE) pour le Proche- Orient et l’Afrique du Nord (NENA) ont eu lieu à Amman, en Jordanie, du 15 au 18 décembre 2013. À cette occasion, la FAO et ses partenaires ont mis en place l’Initiative régionale pour la rareté de l’eau, ainsi que sa Stratégie et son partenariat de collaboration régionale. L’Initiative régionale pour la pénurie d’eau a été approuvée par les Ministres de l’Agriculture lors de la conférence régionale de la FAO à Rome en février 2014 et par le Conseil des Ministres de l’eau de la Ligue des États arabes (LEA) en mai 2015. Depuis le lancement de l’Initiative il y a cinq ans, la région a connu un développement considérable. D’un point de vue positif, la gestion durable de l’eau est devenue la principale priorité des pays de la région. Le dialogue relatif aux questions et aux politiques sur l’eau s’est intensifié. Des investissements et des projets institutionnels innovants sont mis en place dans plusieurs pays de la région. L’adoption du programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030 et des objectifs de développement durable a fourni aux pays, aux donateurs et aux organisations internationales un cadre solide pour donner la priorité à la gestion de l’eau et à la sécurité alimentaire durable dans la région ; aussi, de nombreux défis auxquels la région NENA est confrontée se sont approfondis.

    The SWSR is a reference document on the status of global soil resources that provides regional assessments of soil change. The information is based on peer-reviewed scientific literature, complemented with expert knowledge and project outputs. It provides a description and a ranking of ten major soil threats that endanger ecosystem functions, goods and services globally and in each region separately. Additionally, it describes direct and indirect pressures on soils and ways and means to combat s oil degradation. The report contains a Synthesis report for policy makers that summarizes its findings, conclusions and recommendations.

    The full report has been divided into sections and individual chapters for ease of downloading:

    State of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
    Report 2020
    2020
    Also available in:

    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.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also 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.
