Food Security and Managing Wheat Imports in Arab Countries
2012Also available in:
Arab countries face a number of food security risks due to their high dependence on wheat imports. This study explores ways in which countries can mitigate these risks. The authors evaluate the wheatimport supply chain (WISC) from the unloading port to bulk storage at the flour mill, before the wheat is milled into flour. Existing literature treats isolated topics related to the supply chain, such as strategic storage and the use of financial instruments. This study is unique in that it takes a holistic view of the supply chain by examining how strategic storage, logistics improvements, and procurement strategies can all be used to improve food security. -
Book (stand-alone)Assessment of treated wastewater for agriculture in Lebanon 2016
Also available in:
The purpose of this study is to provide an updated and comprehensive database of information on the status and progresses made on the use of treated wastewater in Lebanon, to highlight data gaps and inconsistencies, and assess the potentialities of TWW using a case study approach in Caza (Province) through a GIS multilayer analysis. The study is based on the work of the FAO project 'Coping with water scarcity - the role of agriculture – Phase III', active in Lebanon since 2011, which seeks to st rengthen the safe use of treated wastewater in agriculture and deals with the agricultural component of water scarcity. The study also presents a tool to support the Government of Lebanon to meet its stated objectives for agricultural water management and to develop new policies on the use of TWW. It will further contribute to the achievement of a number of existing national strategies relating to water, agriculture, environmental management and desertification. -
DocumentImproving Mediterranean woodland areas governance through participative approaches implementation. Regional Synthesis
Technical Report
2016Also available in:
This report takes place within the framework of the regional project “Maximize the production of goods and services of Mediterranean forest ecosystems in the context of global changes” (2012-2016) financed by the French Global Environment Facility together with the German Cooperation (GIZ), the French Ministry of Agriculture, Agrifood, and Forestry, and the European Union in 5 countries in North Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) and the Near East (Lebanon, Turkey). This publication aims to pres ent a regional synthesis of the results of the component 3 of the project focused on the improvement of governance through participative and territorial approaches implementation. The five participating partner countries have designed and tested participatory approaches and innovative governance structures for the sustainable management and socio-economic development of their wooded areas in selected pilot sites, namely Chrea National Park (Algeria), Bentael Nature Reserve (Lebanon), the Maâmora Forest (Morocco), the Barbara Watershed (Tunisia) and the Düzlerçamı Forest (Turkey). With a view to capitalizing and valuing the results and lessons learned, this report analyzes and summarizes the convergences and divergences of the various approaches in terms of their methodologies, activities implemented and results. It highlights the potential for replication of these approaches to other sites within the country or to other countries in the Mediterranean region.
