Management of tropical sandy soils for sustainable agriculture
Light textured sandy soils are ubiquitous throughout the tropics and constitute an important soil resource on which millions are dependent for their livelihoods. Spanning a range of rainfall regimes from the arid to the humid tropics, they present unique sustainability and environmental challenges to resource managers. Physical, chemical and biological characteristics of sandy soils often act as a severe limitation in crop production.
Improving access to natural resources for the rural poor - The experience of FAO and of other key organizations from a sustainable livelihoods perspective
This report identifies FAO’s activities concerning access to natural resources (ANR), and identifies other organizations that use explicitly or implicitly a sustainable livelihoods approach in relation to ANR.

Report of the regional workshop on salt-affected soils from sea water intrusion: strategies for rehabilitation and management
The 26 December 2004 earthquake and tsunami devastated the lives of millions. With considerable determination, local communities have joined national and international organizations and governments to bring relief and start the recovery work. FAO has been involved in assisting the affected countries in numerous ways so that agricultural activities may be resumed. While short-term assistance is indispensable, strategic planning for medium and long-term rehabilitation in collaboration with partners and governments is required for appropriate intervention.
Equitable payments for watershed services: Financing conservation and development in Tanzania
EPWS begins with the identification of a water problem (quantity and/or quality) downstream. this problem has significant financial impact for water users (domestic, industrial, commercial). causes of the problem are located upstream as a consequence of unsustainable land use (subsistence agriculture) by poor farmers who degrade the ecosystem.
Tackling desertification in the Korqin Sandy Lands trough integrated afforestation

Info Note Better Life Alliance in Zambia
This case study estimates the GHG impacts from the implementation of an agricultural development project supported by USAID in Zambia. It identifies the magnitude of a larger set of GHG impacts and compares GHG impact strength of different field activities and cropping systems. As such, the assessment results are instrumental for informing investment and policy planners in Zambia when designing LED strategies in agriculture. Better Life Alliance (BLA) achieved significant climate change mitigation benefits of estimated -902,530 tCO2e per year.
