The 25th Committee of Agriculture - COAG (FAO, Rome, 26-30 September 2016) and the 155th FAO Council (5-9 December 2016), assigned to the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) of FAO the task to establish the Global Soil Information System and prepare the Global Soil Organic Carbon Map (GSOC) by 2017. The GSOC map will be developed using a distributed approach which will strongly rely on country inputs to build a global map from national soil organic carbon (SOC) maps. To this end, countries were invite d to develop national SOC maps according to predetermined specifications developed by FAO. This would also allow countries to develop nationally important products in order to report on SDG 15.3.1 on land degradation and support the endorsed metrics for the assessment of land degradation neutrality (LDN). -

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportImproved use of Plant Nutrients. Report of the Expert Consultation on Better Exploitation of Plant Nutrients, Rome, 18-22 April 1977
FAO Soils Bulletin 37
1978Also available in:
No results found.FAO organized an Expert Consultation in April 1977 with participants from countries consuming both a high and low quantity of fertilizer, to identify possibilities for a more intensive and rational utilization of the valuable plant nutrients in mineral and organic fertilizers, with emphasis on conditions in developing countries. The conclusions reached should serve interested countries as a guide for follow-up activities in the more rational use of plant nutrients at the research and practical l evel. The participants were convinced that there are still ample possibilities for improvement and for making the costly and sometimes scarce plant nutrients more efficient and their use more economic.
