    本書は、大規模な技術的変化が加速度的なペースで進んでいる農業分野の現状を深く掘り下げた報告書です。ほんの数年前には想像すらできなかった新しいテクノロジーが今、次々と登場してきています。例えば家畜生産では、搾乳ロボットや家きん給餌システムなど、家畜への電子タグ付けに基づいた技術の導入が一部の国で増えつつあります。全地球測位衛星システム(GNSS)を利用することにより、トラクターや肥料散布機、農薬散布機の自動操縦など、作物生産の自動化が可能になりました。より高度な技術も、あらゆる分野の市場に投入されつつあります。作物生産においては、除草ロボットなどの自律型マシンの商品化が始まったほか、無人飛行機(いわゆる「ドローン」)が作物管理や施肥/農薬散布作業などのための情報収集に使われています。水産養殖の分野では、自動給餌技術や監視技術の導入が進められています。林業では現在、木材の伐採と輸送に関わる機械の自動化が主要な目標となっています。最新テクノロジーの多くは、精密農業、すなわち情報を活用して投入資材と資源利用の最適化を図る経営戦略を促進するものです。

    The State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture 2021 – Systems at breaking point

    Satisfying the changing food habits and increased demand for food intensifies pressure on the world’s water, land and soil resources. However, agriculture bears great promise to alleviate these pressures and provide multiple opportunities to contribute to global goals. Sustainable agricultural practices lead to water saving, soil conservation, sustainable land management, conservation of natural resources, ecosystem and climate change benefits. Accomplishing this requires accurate information and a major change in how we manage these resources. It also requires complementing efforts from outside the natural resources management domain to maximize synergies and manage trade-offs. The objective of SOLAW 2021 is to build awareness of the status of land and water resources, highlighting the risks, and informing on related opportunities and challenges, also underlining the essential contribution of appropriate policies, institutions and investments. Recent assessments, projections and scenarios from the international community show the continued and increasing depletion of land and water resources, loss of biodiversity, associated degradation and pollution, and scarcity in the primary natural resources. SOLAW 2021 highlights the major risks and trends related to land and water and presents means of resolving competition among users and generating multiple benefits for people and the environment. The DPSIR framework was followed in order to identify the Drivers, Pressures, Status, Impact and Responses. SOLAW 2021 provides an update of the knowledge base and presents a suite of responses and actions to inform decision-makers in the public, private, and civil sectors for a transformation from degradation and vulnerability toward sustainability and resilience.
