(a) Endorsement of the International Undertaking on Plant Genetic Resources

The field surveys have been prepared on water, mineral and plant resources and indigenous African food crops.

Multi disciplinary activities related to the problem concerned, i.e. soil, water, plant and animal resources.

Investigation, protection and development of transboundary waters and aquatic animal and plant resources

However, one aspect missing from the list regards the rights of farmers with respect to plant and animal genetic resources.

Vegetal Fuel and charcoal production was of about 15,022 m³, which meant a very high consumption of forest resources.

International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) patterns of genetic diversity in wild forage species in situ conservation in the Sahel region to monitor vegetation change over years strategies for in situ conservation and utilization of plant genetic resources in desert prone areas of Africa in situ conservation of agricultural biodiversity.

9. Invites countries to consider ratifying or acceding to the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture

In 2001, the FAO Council had adopted the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture.

(a) Traditional lands, waters including historical, sacred and spiritual sites natural resources, including genetic resources, such as seeds, medicines and plants

Invites countries to consider ratifying or acceding to the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture

At the end of 1991, they successfully pressed for the adoption of annex III to the Undertaking. The annex stated that the Undertaking's heritage of mankind concept was subject to the sovereignty of the states over their plant genetic resources and that nations have sovereign rights over their plant genetic resources.

Stefano Mancuso The roots of plant intelligence

Although the Undertaking applied only to plant genetic resources, an area in which the concept of a global genetic commons was especially strong, all genetic material had traditionally been viewed as part of a global commons.

(b) Endorsement of and enhanced support to the Global Plan of Action for the Conservation and Sustainable Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and the Global System for the Management of Farm Animal Genetic Resources

Crop acreage estimates could be produced through the use of Earth resource satellite data in combination with farmer reported data.

(a) Promote bio energy production such as energy crops and energy plantations, as appropriate, where a net reduction of greenhouse gas emissions results

(a) Promote bio energy production such as energy crops and energy plantations, as appropriate, where a net reduction of greenhouse gas emissions results and

The natural resources (soil, water, plant, animal) are subjected to deterioration due to several factors, some of them are well defined and others are not.

So this is a plant that is mimicking the first plant.

FAO is also supporting programmes in food security, plant and animal disease and pest control, and natural resource management.

He spoke of individual and collective rights, and underlined that plant genetic resources had been developed over a long time by countless individuals and communities as a collective resource.

It currently coordinates 7 research networks and assists about 30 capacity building projects for integrating modern techniques into national plant breeding and conservation programmes, with a view to characterizing plant genetic resources, widening plant genetic diversity and introducing agronomically and commercially useful traits.

(b) environment includes natural resources, both abiotic and biotic, such as air, water, soil, fauna and flora and the interaction between the same factors, and the characteristic aspects of the landscape

The Technical Cooperation Network on Plant Biotechnology in Latin America and the Caribbean was established in 1990 to accelerate the adaptation, generation, transfer and application of plant biotechnology in relieving crop production constraints and in ensuring genetic resources conservations for the countries in the region.

Mineral resources

And I think that, in order to take better care of what's behind our products so, the livestock, the crops, the plants, the non renewable materials, but also the people that produce these products the first step would actually be to know that they are there.

Vegetable.

Some of these companies in the field involve the population in the management of natural resources, concretely the flora and the fauna, as it is the case of the management of the animal reserves for the population.

The cultivation of different energy crops will in future enrich crop rotation and hence improve plant diversity.

(b) prevent the pollution of groundwater resources, especially those in a long term perspective reserved for drinking water supply, in particular caused by nitrates, plant protection agents and pesticides as well as other hazardous substances

Coal. Coal turns out to be virtually the same stuff. It is probably plants, except that these have been burned and crushed under pressure.

There are epiphytes, plants that grow on trees.

Cultivating Energy

The review specifically focuses on four critical areas water resources, forest based and mineral resources, energy and waste generation linked to resources consumption.

Management of mineral resources

13. The FAO representative referred to the International Undertaking on Plant Genetic Resources which had been adopted by the Conference of FAO in 1983.

Animal, vegetable or mineral?

They are able to distinguish kin and non kin.

In harmony with the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Treaty sought to ensure the fair and equitable sharing of benefits derived from the use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.

The World Conservation Union lists 40 per cent of St. Helena's plants as endangered, while other conservationists insist that the actual proportion is higher.

A prerequisite for informed decision making and resource management is information on rainfall, crops and vegetation.

Is it animal, vegetable or mineral?
