The development of agricultural technologies and a better appreciation of the existing but under-utilised knowledge of resource management will be crucial in meeting the ecological needs and in achieving the anticipated food demands of the growing population in the future. The greatest challenge for the coming decades lies in the fact that the production environments are unstable and degrading. Land degradation is proceeding so fast that unless policies and approaches change, many countries will not be able to achieve sustainable agriculture in the foreseeable future.

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 level.

Les Insignes des Nations Unies ont pour but l’éducation et la sensibilisation des jeunes en les motivant à améliorer leur comportement, à s’engager comme acteurs principaux d’un changement au niveau local. Les insignes sont un outil pédagogique adapté au cours d’école et aux groupes de jeunes, et sont approuvés par l’AMGE et l’OMMS. Cet auvrage est destiné aux enseignants, aux intervenants en mission locale, et plus particulièrement aux chefs-scouts et cheftaines-guides.
