Book (series)Evaluation reportEvaluación de “Ganadería climáticamente inteligente: Integrando la reversión de la degradación de tierras y reduciendo los riesgos de desertificación en provincias vulnerables”
Códigos de proyecto: GCP/ECU/085/GFF y GCP/ECU/092/SCF FMAM: 4775
2020Also available in:
En Ecuador, el sector ganadero es fundamental para la seguridad alimentaria. Al mismo tiempo, es una fuente importante de empleo e ingresos en algunas provincias con mayor presencia de pequeños y medianos agricultores. Un proyecto para reducir la degradación de la tierra y mitigar las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) en el sector ganadero de Ecuador fue implementado en siete provincias, distribuidas en tres regiones geográficas del país (costa, andes y Amazonía). El proyecto logró reducir la degradación de la tierra, mitigar las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y mejorar la capacidad adaptativa del sector ganadero ecuatoriano. A nivel técnico, sobresalió la gestión del conocimiento, el acompañamiento técnico a través de escuelas de campo, así como el desarrollo de herramientas en línea para el monitoreo de emisiones de GEI y para el cálculo del riesgo climático y la capacidad adaptativa. Si bien existieron alianzas con el sector privado, un vacío señalado a lo largo de todo el proceso de consulta a las partes interesadas, fue la falta de vínculos con el mercado y con el sector privado, que, si bien no estaba contemplado en el diseño, surge como un elemento recurrente durante la implementación. -

BookletCorporate general interestOrganic foods – Are they safer?
Food safety technical toolkit for Asia and the Pacific
2021Also available in:
No results found.Organic agriculture is increasingly under the spotlight for being a promising approach to address the challenges raised by the increasing demographics and urbanization as well as climate change. In the eyes of consumers, this often translates into healthier, safer, tastier and more environmentally friendly foods. But the “organic” certification actually indicates products that are produced in accordance with certain standards throughout the production, handling, processing and marketing stages, and which aim at a different set of benefits: better incomes for small-scale farmers and increased food security, environmental benefits such as improved soil and water quality and biodiversity preservation, and improved animal welfare. Therefore, while organic agriculture may relate to a set of different improved practices, the term organic in and of itself is not a guarantee of food safety. Finally, organic agriculture can be considered as part of the broader approach of agroecology, where ecological concepts and principles are applied in order to optimize interactions between plants, animals, humans and the environment, and consideration is given to social aspects that need to be considered for a sustainable and fair food system. -

Also available in:
No results found.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:

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil 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.
