Agricultural Meteorology Programme (AgMP), 90. Agrometeorological Aspects of Organic Agriculture, Urban Agriculture, Indoor Agriculture and Precision Agriculture
There has been a steady change in the nature of food production over the last few years. In all regions of the world there has been a shift towards organic production methods by limited numbers of producers with a view to a more earth-friendly form of production. There has also been a world-wide development of urban agriculture, particularly in regions with rapidly increasing urban populations, and difficulty in deriving maximum benefit from rural resources to feed the urban population. Likewise, the increase in indoor production has been marked over the last decade. Indoor production allows g ...

Tiempo, clima y seguridad alimentaria
Se calcula que para 2020 la población mundial se elevará a 7,5 mil millones de personas, un aumento que, según estos cálculos se producirá en gran parte en el mundo en desarrollo. Ello significará, por ejemplo, que para satisfacer la creciente demanda de cereales los agricultores tendrán que producir un 40% más de granos en 2020. A pesar de que entre 1986 y 1998 se registró un incremento de la producción y del rendimiento de cereales a escala mundial, la producción media de cereales por habitante se mantuvo estacionaria durante ese período, y de hecho disminuyó en África y Oriente Medio. Esta ...
Le temps, le climat et la sécurité alimentaire
La population mondiale devrait atteindre 7,5 milliards d’habitants en 2020. La poussée démographique surviendra surtout dans les pays en développement. Il faudra produire alors 40 pour cent en plus de céréales pour répondre à la demande mondiale. Si ce secteur a bénéficié de gains de production et de rendement entre 1986 et 1998, le volume moyen de céréales produit par habitant a stagné à l’échelle mondiale. Il a même baissé en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient. Le recul noté dans plusieurs régions nuit gravement à la sécurité alimentaire et à la lutte contre la pauvreté. A cela s’ajoute une autre me ...

Soil salinity assessment : methods and interpretations of electrical conductivity measurements
This paper presents updated technology for assessing soil salinity based on measurement of electrical conductivity. The technology has been extensively and successfully field tested, and it is sound, reliable, accurate and suited to a wide variety of useful applications. The required equipment is commercially available. The advocated instrumental methodology is practical, cost effective and well developed for all general applications. It is cheaper, faster and more informative than traditional methods of salinity measurement based on soil sampling and laboratory analysis.
Crop evapotranspiration : guidelines for computing crop water requirements
Allen Richard G.; Pereira Luis S.; Raes Dirk; et al. - FAO, 1998 (FAO irrigation and drainage paper-No. 56)This publication presents an updated procedure for calculating reference and crop evapotranspiration from meteorological data and crop coefficients.

The publication incorporates advances in research and more accurate procedures for determining crop water use as recommended by a panel of high-level experts organized by FAO in May 1990. The first part of th ...
