Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFAO's four priorities - Regional office for the Near East and North Africa 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The Near East and North Africa (NENA) region is undergoing rapid transformation defined by both pressing challenges and emerging opportunities. From climate change and water scarcity to population growth, urbanization, and food import dependency, the region continues to navigate a dynamic landscape. Ongoing conflicts and instability have further impacted progress in achieving sustainable development. In this context, the FAO Regional Office for the Near East and North Africa (RNE) plays a crucial role in supporting countries to overcome these challenges and deliver on the priorities set by the Member States during the Near East Conference. The RNE Regional Priorities (RPs) serve as a coordinated programmatic roadmap for action, firmly anchored in the FAO’s Strategic Framework and its vision for the Four Betters: better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life. These priorities guide the implementation of country programmes across the region, focusing on transforming agrifood systems, enhancing food security, building climate resilience, and promoting inclusive, equitable growth. Together, through a coordinated and programmatic approach, we are driving meaningful progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while responding to the region’s unique needs and unlocking its potential. -

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. -

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.
