2025Also available in:
No results found.The project “Integrating climate resilience into agricultural and agropastoral production systems through soil fertility management in key productive and vulnerable areas using the Farmer Field School approach” (the IRCEA project) aimed to directly support at least 150 000 farmers through an existing network of 5 150 Farmer Field Schools (FFS) to develop and implement climate resilient approaches and practices. This project, funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), started in November 2016 and was officially closed in November 2022. -

FAO Soils Bulletin 45
1982Also available in:
No results found.This Bulletin contains the papers and proceedings of the FAO/SIDA Workshop on Organic Materials and Soil Productivity in the Near East. In view of the important complementary effect of organic materials to mineral fertilizers and their role in improving the soil?s physical properties, the Workshop has dealt with a wide variety of items on techniques and uses of the organic materials and wastes including, composting, bio-fertilizers and biogas, the environmental and health aspects, and action g uidelines for follow-up activities in the Near East countries. The purpose of this Workshop was to promote and maintain interest in the use of organic materials for improving soil productivity in the Near East Region and to assist Member Countries in developing action programmes to achieve these goals. The proceedings of the workshop present sound recommendations, the implementation of which would assist in improving the soil productivity, raising crop production levels and producing a bette r quality of life. -
DocumentGuidelines and reference material on integrated soil and nutrient management and conservation for farmer field schools 2000
Also available in:
No results found.Historically, land improvement schemes were based on encouraging, through financial incentives, land users to adopt specific soil management and conservation measures. Insufficient attention was paid to the constraints faced by farmers or to the policy, biophysical and socio-economic environment. In many cases such approaches have failed in restoring the natural resources and in increasing productivity in sustainable manner. For too long farmers have been the passive recipients of externally der ived research and extension recommendations for soil management and conservation.
