Book (stand-alone)Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (GSER 2019): Symposium working documents
Assessment tools, management practices and economics of soil erosion
2019Also available in:
No results found.At its Sixth Session in June 2018, the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) Plenary Assembly (PA), upon request of its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS), voted to organize a Symposium on soil erosion “considering that this is the main threat affecting global soils”. The Symposium aims to incentivize bottom-up global soil erosion assessments under the umbrella of the Food and Agriculture’s (FAO) GSP. The Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (GSER19) is organized around three key themes: 1. Soil erosion assessment tools and data: creation, consolidation and harmonization; 2. Best erosion management practices of the last 20 years and policy support to address human-induced erosion; 3. The economics of soil erosion Although the three themes will be treated separately during the Symposium, they are inter-related. Prior to the GSER19 and for each of the themes, working groups were set up with the objective of discussing the key topics to be tackled for each theme. The discussions held within each of the three working groups were then translated into working documents that are presented in this final document. The three theme working documents will eventually assist the GSP and its partners in planning upcoming actions to address soil erosion at the global, regional and local level. A revised version of this document will be included in the outcome c of the Symposium, which will be published after the event. The working groups were composed of experts, members of the GSP’s ITPS, and the Science-Policy Interface of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (SPI-UNCCD), who participated on a voluntary basis. -

Global symposium on soil biodiversity, 19–22 April 2021 – Outcome document
2021Also available in:
No results found.The Global Symposium on Soil Biodiversity outcome document highlights scientific evidence on the status of soil biodiversity, its impacts, and an agenda for action in the framework of achieving the SDGs. The recommendations presented in this document aim to support the development of policies and actions to encourage the full use of soil biodiversity in the various land-use sectors. The Global Symposium on Soil Biodiversity was held virtually on the FAO zoom platform from 19-22 April 2021. It was attended by over 5 000 participants representing more than 160 countries, including representatives of FAO members, organizing institutions, academia, research institutions, the private sector, civil society, and farmers, as well as land users working on soil biodiversity and related fields. This document is also based on the Report of the State of Knowledge of Soil Biodiversity: Status, Challenges and Potentialities, and is complemented by a book of proceedings, which presents extended abstracts of the various parallel sessions presented during the symposium. -
