  1. FOOD SECURITY, SOIL FERTILITY AND DRYLAND DEVELOPMENT Parviz Koohafkan, Land and Water Development Division FAO interdepartmental group on desertification

  2. 1. FAO strategic framework 2000-2015 • A) Contribution to eradication of food insecurity and poverty • B): Promotion of enabling policies and regulatory frameworks for sustainable development • C): Creating sustainable increase in supply of food and other agriculture, forestry and fisheries products • D): Supporting integrated management and sustainable use of natural resources • E): information and knowledge management AGENDA 21/CCD CBD/CCC

  3. Soil fertilityrestoration Foodsecurity Combatingdesertification

  4. 2. Analysis of issues and programmes on: Food security (SPFS) Soil fertility (SFI) Desertification (CCD) Climate Change(CCC) Biological Diversity(CBD)

  5. Comparison between Strategies of Implementation SPFS SFI CCD (CCC) • Water control • Intensification • Diversification • Land husbandry • Mixed Cropping & crop rotations • IPNS • Chemical fertilisers Technologies & Practices • Soil and water • conservation • Aforestation/ • agroforestry • Rangeland/livestock • management • Conservation • M- tillage • Aforestation • Market • (input/output) • Microcredit • Land tenure • South-South • cooperation • International Facili • NAP • Cost benefit analysis • Transport/market • ( fertilisers) • Inter-institutional • arrangements • NAP • Info. Systems • Regional networks • Clean • development • mechanism • GEF • Joint implementation mechanisem Policies & planning • National plans/strategies • Participatory and integrated approaches • Combined short and long term benefits • partnership building Commonalties

  7. SPFS: Status of Implementation

  8. SFI: Status of Implementation under formulation NAP prepared

  9. CCD: Status of Implementation first NAP document NDF launched Source UNSO

  10. COMPLEMENTARITY BETWEENSPFS/SFI/CCD/CBD/CCC • Analysis shows that all these programmes have: • high inter-relation ; can not be treated separately • strong national ownership with international partnership • emphasis on resources but need to include more socio-economic aspects • rely generally on the same human resources at local and national level Integrated & participatory approach at all levels; optimising priorities and harmonising actions

  11. 3. PROPOSALS • joint operational programmes in countries aiming at complementarity and when possible integration of SPFS/ SFI/ CCD/ CCC/ CBD at all levels • joint normative activities ( information systems, best practices, stocktaking and success stories,..) with focu on integration of issues related to FS/SFI/CCD/CCC/CBD • Strengthening the SFI International Facilitationand building and streamlining of working groups, networks and partnerships at: local, national and international levels

  12. DEVELOPMENT OF CARBON STOCK AND SEQUESTRATIONASSESSMENT MODEL • DIGITAL GLOBAG AGROECOLOGICAL ZONES DATA BASE • LAND COVER LAND USE DATA BASE • DIGITAL SOIL MAP OF THE WORLD(ORGANIC AND MINERAL CARBON) • DIGITAL LAND DEGRADATION MAP(GLASOD) • SATELITE IMAGERY WITH VARIOUS RESOLUTIOS • USE OF VEGETATION INDEX ABOVE GROUND and BELOW GROUND(ROOTS) BIOMASS MODELS • CROP GROWTH AND PRODUCTION MODELS • BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY INDEX • ETC..
