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.

In Lesotho, some externally financed agricultural development projects have appeared particularly prone to failure. One reason may be that, when designed, projects have not been subjected to sufficiently rigorous analysis, particularly with regard to expected farmers' response to extension messages.

农业必须重新审视土壤健康的重要性，利用天然植物营养， 合理施用无机肥，切切实实回归本源。

This paper reviews the experiences of introducing land consolidation and land banking instruments in Central and Eastern Europe, largely to address the structural problems of small and fragmented farms. The introduction has been uneven with some countries having established operational programmes while others have taken steps with differing levels of success, and a few have not taken action. The paper assesses the driving factors for the introduction and the approaches used in individual countries.

This bulletin gives an overview of the ninth session of the working party on Soil Classification and Survey of the European Commission on Agriculture that took place in Ghent, Belgium, in september 1973. It presents the papers, discussions and recommendations developed during the meeting. A methodology of land evaluation is being developed in FAO and will be used for the interpretation of the FAO/UNESCO Soil Map of the World with a view to making a global evaluation of the land resources available for agricultural development.

The pressing need for increased agricultural production in the years ahead can only be met by more efficient use of our land and water resources including more widespread and better irrigation in those regions where rainfall is inadequate. Production gains will be shortlived unless the attendant hazards of salinization, water logging and lowered fertility are kept in check by effective planning and management based on a thorough understanding of the soil conditions. Soil survey and land classification are generally accepted essential preliminaries to investment in irrigation development.
