InfographicInfographicSoil Doctor | How to minimize soil erosion by water 2019This is one of a set of posters, the communication materials for farmers in "Soil Doctors Global Programme". the program is a farmer-to-farmer training programme and the poster will be used for farmers by farmers to teach and learn soil function and problems related to soils. This poster explain contribution factors and preventative factors of soil erosion by water. It is in line with the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Sustainable Soil Management and to maintain healthy soils and food safety in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals and the FAO’s Strategic Objectives. It contributes to the efforts of ending hunger, malnutrition, climate change adaptation, land degradation and overall sustainable development. It also contributes to the strategic framework of FAO especially SP 1, 2.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureRehabilitating degraded lands and soils prone to wind erosion in the Islamic Republic of Iran 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Benefitting from the financial support of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), FAO in collaboration with the Forest, Range & Watershed Management Organization, is implementing the ‘Rehabilitation of Forest Landscapes and Degraded Land with Particular Attention to Saline Soils and Areas Prone to Wind Erosion’ project in the country to remove key barriers to community-based and integrated Sustainable Land and Forest Management (SLFM). The Organization is focused on (i) strengthening the capacity of local communities and provincial institutions to plan, adopt and evaluate participatory SLFM initiatives at the village and watershed scales; (ii) providing sustainable alternative livelihood options; and (iii) enhancing capacity at the national level to mainstream these approaches into country-wide plans, policies and processes. -
Book (series)Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project “Rehabilitation of forest landscapes and degraded land with particular attention to saline soils and areas prone to wind erosion”
Project code: GCP/IRA/064/GFF - GEF ID: 3450
2024Also available in:
No results found.This project supports the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran in efforts to reduce land and forest degradation in two target provinces, and develop capacity to support the widespread implementation of such techniques across the country. The overall objectives were to strengthen capacity of local communities and local institutions to plan, implement and evaluate participatory sustainable land and forest management (SLFM) initiatives at village and watershed levels; adopt and implement alternative livelihood options and enhance capacity to mainstream these approaches into national plans, policies and processes. The project outcomes were consistent with national policies and plans, and successful in building local capacity, and influencing policy, institutional and interdepartmental linkages.

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. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition.
