Book (stand-alone)HandbookFAO GISMGR 2.0
Web User Interface user manual
2025Also available in:
No results found.This guide provides a complete overview of the FAO GISMGR 2.0 Web User Interface (Web UI), the application designed to manage and publish geospatial raster data through an intuitive, browser-based environment. While GISMGR 2.0 also offers APIs for programmatic interaction, the Web UI allows users to perform the same core functions without needing advanced coding skills. In this manual, you will find detailed instructions on how to navigate the platform, create and manage workspaces, users, and roles, and organize resources such as maps, mapsets, mosaicsets, dimensions, grids, and styles. It also explains how to upload and process data through cloud storage buckets, apply styles for visualization, and preview results directly within the application. Acquiring this knowledge is particularly valuable for data providers, managers, and GIS specialists who need to collaborate in a shared environment, ensuring that datasets are properly ingested, styled, stored, and made accessible to others. The manual also covers system messages, permissions, and user profile management, helping you operate securely and efficiently. Ultimately, this guide equips you with the framework to use GISMGR 2.0 Web UI not just as a storage tool, but as a collaborative geospatial management system – enabling effective data sharing, visualization, and integration to support agriculture, environment, and sustainable development initiatives. -

ArticleJournal articleInternational experiences of systems approaches: re-thinking policies and governance to transform agrifood systems 2025
Also available in:
No results found.A profound transformation of purpose means that agrifood systems are expected to attain multiple sustainability outcomes, beyond producing enough food, towards achieving human and planetary health for current and future generations. Yet, despite the existing range of policies, innovations and interventions, agrifood systems transformation is hindered by short-term thinking, siloed approaches, power imbalances and linear mindsets. Persistent challenges demand a transformation of how action is taken. In response, people and institutions across the world are beginning to adopt different ways of working. Drawing inspiration from various countries, this article illustrates the promise and practice of delivering agrifood systems transformation through a systems approach. Key insights confirm that first, systems transformation requires long-term programmatic and investment cycles that leverage the interconnectedness of the agrifood system. Second, effective transformation needs to value the role of systems leaders to catalyse the change process, while also enabling inclusive governance processes that empower a diversity of voices to participate in decision-making. Finally, tangible outputs (e.g. change in policy or governance body or investment) and intangible outputs (e.g. change in thinking, relationships, connections and agency) of a systems approach are observed. Future agrifood systems interventions should promote both types of outputs, as essential components of transformation. -
BookletTechnical briefCôte d'Ivoire bridging the gap between finance and fish farmers
The investment case for improved financial services to tilapia farmers
2025Also available in:
This document presents an investment case for modified and improved farming methods for tilapia in Cote d’Ivoire. The case is built on information about the costs, benefits and results of the action which was funded by FISH4ACP in 2024 and 2025. Tilapia is the main fish species farmed in Côte d'Ivoire with an annual production of some 7 700 tonnes, and contributes only a small proportion of total annual domestic production, with national demand meaning that the country is highly reliant on imports of fish. Methods of farming tilapia were previously not efficient, but through action by FISH4ACP to improve the quality and availability of fingerlings, ensure enhanced farming methods, and introduce digital technologies, the financial performance of tilapia farming was enhanced. This is demonstrated through financial models of the operating accounts of fish farmers prior to, and after FISH4ACP support. -
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.
