Book Description
This document presents key messages and the state-of-the-art of soil pollution, its implications on food safety and human health. It aims to set the basis for further discussion during the forthcoming Global Symposium on Soil Pollution (GSOP18), to be held at FAO HQ from May 2nd to 4th 2018. The publication has been reviewed by the Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soil (ITPS) and contributing authors. It addresses scientific evidences on soil pollution and highlights the need to assess the extent of soil pollution globally in order to achieve food safety and sustainable development. This is linked to FAO’s strategic objectives, especially SO1, SO2, SO4 and SO5 because of the crucial role of soils to ensure effective nutrient cycling to produce nutritious and safe food, reduce atmospheric CO2 and N2O concentrations and thus mitigate climate change, develop sustainable soil management practices that enhance agricultural resilience to extreme climate events by reducing soil degradation processes. This document will be a reference material for those interested in learning more about sources and effects of soil pollution.

Book Description
The objective of this guidance on fulfilling the reporting requirements of Article 12 of the Code of Conduct is to obtain a regular flow of information on its observance to strengthen implementation of the Code, to provide data for its future revisions and improvement, and, most importantly, to improve the protection of human health and the environment related to pesticide use and management in agriculture and public health. The guidance was prepared in compliance with the FAO/WHO International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management, which sets out a framework and voluntary standards of conduct for stakeholders in pesticide management, in particular governments and the pesticide industry. Endorsed by FAO, WHO, governments, pesticide producers, non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders, the Code outlines their shared responsibility to promote best practice and risk reduction throughout the pesticide life cycle. The Code of Conduct thereby establishes the commitment and moral obligation of stakeholders to comply with the agreed standards of conduct and to assume their respective responsibilities. These include governments’ responsibility to promote pesticide risk reduction and the industry’s responsibility to produce products that are adapted to the context of their use and to provide stewardship of those products throughout their life cycle. This guidance was prepared with the support of the FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Management (JMPM) to provide further guidance on the provisions of the Code of Conduct related to its observance and implementation. It reflects the joint FAO/WHO approach to pesticide management, thus addressing the topic in both agricultural and public health settings.

Book Description
In recent decades, there has been an increase in the demand for food production. This is attributed to the growth of the human population and the development of new farming techniques. Innovative management solutions are required to make the most out of agricultural inputs while simultaneously reducing their off-site mobility and the impacts they have on the ecosystems. The primary contributors to the contamination of local soils, sediments, and streams are activities that are associated with horticulture, agriculture, and industrial output. Examples of agricultural pollutants include organic wastes such as manure and decaying plants; runoff from irrigation systems including salts and trace metals; microorganisms; pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides; and chemical herbicides, pesticides, and insecticides. Utilizing pollution management measures that are both effective and cost-effective is one way to produce more productive agricultural outputs. Applications of fertilizer that are targeted, appropriate, and well-balanced are important if one want to increase agricultural output while at the same time limiting their influence on the environment. To advance global crop production in a way that is both efficient and kind to the environment, every effort should be made to improve the availability and utilization of secondary and micronutrients, organic fertilizers, and techniques for soil conservation. This should be done without compromising the soil's overall health or its level of productivity. Taking this action is required to increase the crop yields. As a result of this, it is of the utmost importance to find solutions to the challenging issues that crop up on a regular basis in the agricultural industry. As a direct result of the data presented up top, we are thinking of writing a book with the working title "Contaminants in Agriculture: Sources, Impacts, and Management." This book focuses on the many different outcomes that could be brought about by the existing scenario. It is our steadfast opinion that this volume will prove to be a resource that is important for anybody who is interested in agriculture or who is curious about agriculture.

Book Description
This book offers a broad and global level description of the current status of wastewater use in agriculture and then brings the readers to various places in the MENA Region and Europe to explain how some countries and regions have addressed the challenges during implementation. On a global scale, over 20 million hectares of agricultural land are irrigated using wastewater. This is one good, and perhaps the most prominent, example of the safe use potential of wastewater. Water scarcity and the cost of energy and fertilisers are among the main factors driving millions of farmers and other entrepreneurs to make use of wastewater. In order to address the technical, institutional, and policy challenges of safe water reuse, developing countries and countries in transition need clear institutional arrangements and more skilled human resources, with a sound understanding of the opportunities and potential risks of wastewater use. Stakeholders in wastewater irrigation who need to implement from scratch or improve current conditions, find it difficult to gather the necessary information on practical implementation aspects. The main objective of this book is to bridge that gap.
