Colleagues,

Please check in if your time allows this Friday! 13:00- in Rome time.

Dada, I saw your name on the previous Koronivia ZOOM webinar by GACSA, but there was some trouble with the link and I could not connect! I hope the webinar went well, and I will be sure to watch the recording later. Martial said there were “lessons learnt” from that one.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is pleased to invite you to a webinar series “Research for Agricultural Solutions to Address Climate Change”, to discuss technical issues identified during the in-session workshops of the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture decision.

The first webinar will present and discuss monitoring systems and tools for healthier soils, with the objective to:

  • Share the latest technical development for measuring and monitoring soil heath, soil organic carbon and soil fertility;
  • Recognize the market opportunities made possible by quantification and monitoring systems for soil heath, soil carbon and soil fertility; and
  • Identify areas where further research is necessary to enable farmers, especially in developing countries, to implement solutions for measuring and monitoring soil heath, soil carbon and soil fertility in accordance to national circumstances.
