    Stratégie de gestion des risques de catastrophe en Afrique de l’Ouest et au Sahel 2011
    Also available in:
    Chaque année, les pays de la sous-région de l’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Sahel sont victimes de catastrophes naturelles telles que la sécheresse, les inondations ainsi que de maladies animales transfrontières, de crises économiques et de conflits civils. Ces événements entraînent des pertes de vies et la destruction ou l’affaiblissement des moyens d’existence des populations et par conséquent la fragilisation de leur sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle. La fréquence et la nature de plus en plus complexe des ces crises nécessite une approche holistique qui intègre des actions visant à renforcer la préparation aux crises, la prévention et l’atténuation des risques par des réponses efficaces et rapides et des interventions facilitant la transition vers une condition de stabilité et développement. Dans cette optique, l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO) a élaboré un nouveau Cadre Stratégique (2010-2019) qui a parmi ses objectifs l’amé lioration de la préparation et de la réponse aux menaces et situations d’urgence alimentaires et agricoles au travers d’actions ponctuelles avant, pendant et après une crise. Ce cadre stratégique est à la base de la Stratégie de la FAO de gestion des risques de catastrophe en Afrique de l’Ouest et au Sahel (2011-2013). Cette stratégie sous-régionale fournit une approche intégrée à la programmation des activités de gestion et de réduction de risques de catastrophe pour les Bureaux de pa ys de la FAO ainsi qu’à la préparation de plans d’action au niveau national. La stratégie sera mise en oeuvre en collaboration avec les parties prenantes telles que les institutions régionales et sous-régionales, les gouvernements concernés, les agences des Nations Unies et les organisations non gouvernementales.

    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:

    State of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
    Report 2020
    2020
    Also available in:
    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. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.

    Soil 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.
