DocumentEvaluation reportMid-term Evaluation of the Project “Sustainable Land Management and Climate-Friendly Agriculture” - Management Response
Project evaluation - Management Response
2018Also available in:
No results found.The “Sustainable Land Management and Climate-Friendly Agriculture” Project was implemented in Turkey to improve the sustainability of agricultural and forest land use in the area by rehabilitating degraded forests and rangelands, promoting climate-smart agriculture and establishing a favourable enabling environment. The project was designed to develop the necessary strategies, plans, tools and mechanisms that will aid stakeholders in sustainably managing forest and land resources. The Mid-term Evaluation highlighted that the Project is responding to national and provincial environmental needs and priorities, contributing to the United Nations Development Cooperation Strategy (UNDCS) and the FAO Country Programme in Turkey and is aligned with the priorities of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and FAO’s Strategic Objectives. However, the team will need to better target gender equality and more needs to be done to achieve the target outputs and outcomes. -
Book (series)Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project “Sustainable Land Management and Climate-friendly Agriculture”
Project code: GCP/TUR/055/GFF - GEF Project ID: 4583
2024Also available in:
No results found.Implemented by the FAO Subregional Office for Central Asia in Türkiye, the project contributed to improve the sustainability of agriculture and forest land use management in the Konya Closed Basin through low-carbon technologies and win-win benefits in land degradation, climate change and biodiversity conservation, while increasing farm profitability and forest productivity. Climate-friendly agriculture interventions and connected CO2 savings positively illustrated new approaches for sustainable land and natural resources management.The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry was invited to create a comprehensive monitoring programme to systematically assess the Konya Closed Basin’s environmental state, and FAO continues to advocate for concrete policy measures to address the urgent environmental challenges. -
ProjectFactsheetPromoting Sustainable Land Management and Climate-Friendly Agriculture in the Republic of Türkiye - GCP/TUR/055/GFF 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Türkiye encounters several barriers to sustainable land and forest management practices. These are driven by minimal experience among key stakeholders, limited exposure to innovative low-carbon technologies and inadequate legal and institutional frameworks. The project aimed to overcome these barriers through three components that address these needs. The first component focused on rehabilitating degraded forest-and range-lands, producing soil organic carbon maps, certification of dry-land forests and establishing a biodiversity monitoring system. The second component aimed to promote climate-smart agriculture by developing models for conservation agriculture demonstrations, investing in bio-digesters and monitoring the adoption of climate-smart agricultural technologies. The third component focused on creating an enhanced enabling environment for sustainable land management by training 923 farmers to support the project goals, enhancing forest and agriculture policies and implementing a national monitoring program for climate change, biodiversity and sustainable land management. The project targeted government staff and decision-makers, farmers and civil society stakeholders involved in sustainable dryland management and dryland farmers, and was the first of its kind in Türkiye to bring together land degradation, biodiversity and climate change concerns to deliver integrated and synergistic solutions.

ArticleJournal articleNurturing Soil Life through Agroforestry – The Roles of Trees in the Ecological Intensification of Agriculture 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Soil resources constitute the very foundation of agriculture, so sustainable agriculture is inherently dependent on soil health. Soil health reflects the capacity of soil to respond beneficially to agricultural management, maintaining both agricultural production and the provision of varying ecosystem services, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity conservation in the long term. Soil health depends on the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the soil that are required for plant growth and development. Ecological intensification differs from current strategies for agricultural intensification by embracing agroecological transitions to more sustainable agriculture and food systems. This chapter discusses the pivotal role that trees play in building and maintaining the soil health and functional resilience that are required for the ecological intensification of agriculture. It summarizes the current knowledge about functions and impacts of trees on soil health, and highlights the tree/soil biodiversity interactions that drive these functions. -

Book (stand-alone)General interest book地理标志食品的营养与健康潜力 2022
Also available in:
在很多重要文件中，传统食品、饮食和粮食体系在大众营养状况中所发挥的重要作用得到了认可。社会经济、生物多样性、自然资源可利用性及地理标志的使用都会影响营养和饮食，但关于前三项的研究比最后一项要多得多。在促进健康饮食和遏制非传染性疾病方面，地理标志食品的潜力值得探索。本书共有五个案例，研究了五种已注册的地理标志食品的营养潜力。 本书探讨了生产过程和最终产品营养成分之间的关系。事实上，这些食品的营养特性在很大程度上可以归因于它们独特的成分和生产过程，与其地理来源密切相关。对营养成分的分析既需要考虑普通的营养素，还要考虑生物活性化合物，后者通常不会出现在营养成分表中。 本书也探究了一些与个案研究对象相似但不一定认证了地理标志的食品。在个案研究后，本书第三部分简要探讨了三个专题：规范地理标志食品以保持和提高营养质量、地理标志食品在健康饮食中的作用以及食品成分测定。第四部分讨论了本书的局限性，并提出了以地理标志食品促进健康饮食的建议。很多受地理标志保护的传统食品是发酵食品，因此，附录涉及了益生菌、益生元和肠道菌群。
