No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical bookIndicateurs de nutrition pour le développement 2004Le suivi et l’évaluation des politiques publiques comme des progrès accomplis par rapport aux objectifs des grands sommets internationaux reposent sur l’utilisation d’indicateurs appropriés qui permettent d’apprécier l’état d’avancement des programmes mis en oeuvre et, le cas échéant, de procéder aux ajustements nécessités par l’évolution de la situation. Si les grands indicateurs de base et la façon de les recueillir figurent en général dans des documents largement diffusés, il n’en e st pas de même dès lors que l’on s’adresse à des domaines d’intervention plus spécifiques comme celui de l’alimentation et de la nutrition, non seulement au niveau national, mais aussi à des niveaux désagrégés de divisions administratives ou de communautés plus ou moins larges. De plus, les indicateurs utiles sont souvent dispersés dans un grand nombre de documents. Dans le présent guide sont rassemblés des indicateurs relatifs à différents aspects de la nutrition et des domaines con nexes, et notamment ceux qui sont apparus régulièrement au cours des quinze dernières années. Plus qu’une liste exhaustive d’indicateurs, le guide vise à fournir une illustration de la variété des indicateurs les plus pertinents et les plus utilisés dans chaque secteur, en faisant largement référence aux indicateurs recommandés par les grandes institutions spécialisées, notamment celles des Nations Unies.

No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields.

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.
