GSP Workshop “Managing Living Soils” 5-7 December 2012, FAO HQ
FAO, through the Global Soil Partnership, is organizing a technical workshop “Managing Living Soils” to review the state of the art in regard to soil management across the world and within each region.
This will draw on participants’ knowledge of the status and trends in specific countries and contexts, on practical experiences and case studies, as well as relevant processes or mechanisms that can be built on or scaled up to support sustainable soil management. Technical, institutional, financial and policy issues and constraints and opportunities will be discussed as the basis for identifying priorities and future actions for a proposed Plan of Action for Pillar 1 of the Global Soil Partnership on Promoting sustainable management of soil resources worldwide. This Plan will be further developed through the Regional Soil Partnerships to address specificities and priorities in each region.
