No results found.La présente étude s’inscrit dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre des activités du projet « Conservation et gestion adaptative des Systèmes Ingénieux du Patrimoine Agricole Mondial (GIAHS/SIPAM) » pour le système pilote national au niveau de la Tunisie : qui est l’Oasis historique de Gafsa. Le but visé par cette étude est l’identification des principales filières et ressources naturelles de cette oasis aux fins de leur utilisation rationnelle. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportEfforts déployés par l’ASM Gafsa pour la contribution à l’amélioration de l’état phytosanitaire des oasis de Gafsa
Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS)
2015Also available in:
No results found.Les oasis de Gafsa : Kasba, Ksar et Sud Ouest, sont gravement menacées dans leur durabilité sous les effets de plusieurs facteurs puisqu’elles constituent un milieu très propice pour la multiplication de plusieurs ravageurs des cultures. Cette situation phytosanitaire des oasis a des effets négatifs sur les rendements et la qualité des produits agricoles et par conséquent limite les revenus des exploitants à des niveaux bas. -

Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS)
2006Also available in:
No results found.En ce qui concerne les oasis et plus particulièrement l’oasis historique de Gafsa, les données actuellement disponibles montrent que certaines espèces sont exposées à diverses pressions, notamment certaines espèces de palmiers dattiers, d’oliviers, de pêchers, d’abricotiers, de poiriers, de grenadiers et de cultures maraîchères. Des perspectives de développement durable de l’agrobiodiversité qui constitue l’ensemble des composantes de la diversité biologique liées à l’alimentation, à l’agricultu re et aux fonctionnements des écosystèmes agricoles. Elle implique toutes les formes d’élevage d’animaux, de plantes, de microorganismes et de champignons ainsi que les espèces sauvages apparentées. De même, les « services rendus » par les écosystèmes agricoles font partie de l’agrobiodiversité : par exemple, les processus écologiques nécessaires au maintien de la fertilité du sol, à la régulation des parasites et des maladies ou à la pollinisation, contribueront (i) à la restauration du patrim oine génétique oasien et (ii) à la préservation de la biodiversité agricole.

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. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also 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.
