    Le projet conjoint FAo-Unesco de la Carte mondiale des sols a été entrepris A la suite d'une recommandation de l'Association internationale de la science du sol. C'est la première fois qu'on dresse, en faisant appel A la coopération internationale, une carte des sols de tous les continents avec une légende uniforme permettant de mettre en corrélation les unités pédologiques et de faire des comparaisons l'échelle mondiale. La réalisation de ce projet, qui a débuté en 1961, combl e une lacune dans la connaissance actuelle des ressources en sols du monde et fournit un précieux instrument pour la planification du développement agricole et économique. La Carte mondiaIe des sols comprend au total dix volumes de textes explicatifs, dont le présent volume est le premier. On y trouve, après une introduction, la définition des éliments de la ligende utilisée uniformément tout au long de la publication. Chacun des neuf volumes suivants comprend un texte explicat if accompagné des cartes correspondantes, et se rapporte à l'une des grandes régions du monde.

    The project for a joint FAo/Unesco Soil Map of the World was undertaken following a recommendation of the International Society of Soil Science. It is the first attempt to prepare, on the basis of international cooperation, a soil map covering all the continents of the world in a uniform legend, thus enabling the correlation of soil units and comparisons on a global scale. The project, which started in 1961, fills a gap in present knowledge of soil potentialities throughout the world and provides a useful instrument in planning agricultural and economic development programmes.The present volume, covering the soils of Mexico. Central America and the Caribbean islands, is the third of a set of ten which make up the complete publication of the Soil Map of the World. The first volume records introductory information and presents the definitions of the elements of the legend which is used uniformly throughout the publication. Each of the nine following vo lumes comprises an explanatory text and the corresponding map sheets covering the main regions of the world.

    The State of Food and Agriculture 2021
    Making agrifood systems more resilient to shocks and stresses
    2021
    The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerability of agrifood systems to shocks and stresses and led to increased global food insecurity and malnutrition. Action is needed to make agrifood systems more resilient, efficient, sustainable and inclusive.The State of Food and Agriculture 2021 presents country-level indicators of the resilience of agrifood systems. The indicators measure the robustness of primary production and food availability, as well as physical and economic access to food. They can thus help assess the capacity of national agrifood systems to absorb shocks and stresses, a key aspect of resilience.The report analyses the vulnerabilities of food supply chains and how rural households cope with risks and shocks. It discusses options to minimize trade-offs that building resilience may have with efficiency and inclusivity. The aim is to offer guidance on policies to enhance food supply chain resilience, support livelihoods in the agrifood system and, in the face of disruption, ensure sustainable access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to all.

    Libyan Land Cover Reference System 2023
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Land use is an essential component for many areas, from water management to agriculture, from the fight against desertification to that against climate change. The detection of changes in land cover allows a better understanding of the state and dynamics of natural resources and, to a certain extent, of their use. However, the legends used to describe land cover often have many inconsistencies and this limits their use and the sustainability of land cover monitoring efforts. The establishment of a common land cover classification system is one of the solutions identified to ensure consistency between maps prepared by different organizations. Also, with the establishment of an international standard for the development of land cover classification systems (ISO 19144-2), it is possible to use a national reference system and derive legends from it of land use that are interoperable. This facilitates the use of the same card for different objectives, forestry or agricultural, as well as for the assessment of ecosystem functions, the assessment biodiversity, the carbon cycle and many others. Many land cover maps have been established for Libya, but, as in most countries the legends were developed for very specific purposes, they are not interoperable and their use for the evaluation of temporal changes is greatly limited. The government can establish a national land cover classification system, which allows interoperability and an integration, whether for local applications (for example that collected by the teams of field) or national.The objective of this document is to present the land cover reference system for Libya. The main aim of this reference system is to provide a common framework so that experts and land cover communities can generate their own legend and classes depending on their objective in Libya. This land cover reference system is based on Land Cover Meta Language (LCML) ISO-based standards. The rules that characterize each node in LCML are controlled by a specific object-based rule that is fully documented and explained in the publication. This publication is the result of collaboration between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, Libyan Centre for Remote Sensing and Space Science and University of Tripoli.
