Water scarcity could be addressed through modern water conservation techniques in agriculture (such as drip irrigation, on farm water management, lining of watercourses and canals, etc.) and through more traditional techniques (such as rainwater harvesting).

Application of knowledge management techniques.

Conservation and management of marine biodiversity

Regarding soil and water conservation, improved irrigation techniques, introduction of water use policies and monitoring of competing uses and demands for water, soil and water conservation techniques, and flood controls were seen as important.

(c) Management of torrential floods for resource conservation and soil erosion

Technology transfer has a broad definition and can include land management practices and techniques for soil and water conservation, as well as protected area management systems, pastoral systems, silvicultural (agroforestry, afforestation, reforestation) practices, genetically superior planting material, efficient harvesting, processing, end use technologies and indigenous knowledge.

Conservation of resources constitutes an essential prerequisite of effective criminal justice management.

C. Sustainable farm management practices and conservation agriculture to foster carbon storage

Training on drought resistant crop species or promising soil conservation techniques will be among the top priority courses on the curriculum.

Most of the adaptation options identified for agriculture relate to crop management, land management, and soil and water conservation.

Capacity building in the preservation, conservation and management for local authorities and communities

We are firmly committed to the proper conservation and management of the oceans.

219. NAFO has indicated that it does not address shark management and conservation.

(b) Agriculture land cover and suitability, productivity and yield, rural management, soil conservation

In many cases, combined techniques have provided more effective results than individual techniques, particularly when they are part of an Integrated Pest Management programme.

(ii) Water and soil conservation and environmental protection (rationalisation of water use, farm mechanisation, cultivation techniques, forestry, dry cultivation and anti desertification measures)

Capacity building in the preservation, conservation valorisation and management for local authorities and communities

We hope those efforts will contribute to greater compliance with conservation and management measures.

2. Regional review of the status of fisheries and of conservation and management measures

Various topics were discussed, including freshwater resource development and management, environmentally sound management of all types of waste, sustainable management, conservation and use of all types of forests, sustainable conservation of biological diversity, and ratification and implementation of international environment agreements of relevance to Africa.

This may be done through the development of new techniques for reforestation and afforestation, germ plasm conservation and the cultivation of new plant varieties.

The Secretariat could indeed experiment with new management techniques within the framework of pilot projects.

(c) Green Resource Directory techniques, products and services for improved environmental management in tourism facilities

Under the right circumstances, decentralization enhances efficiency, equity and participation in forest management and conservation.

In central and eastern Europe, soil conservation activities are implemented with the support of initiatives focusing mainly on combating soil erosion, land fertility management and water conservation.

220. NASCO pointed out that the organization had been established to contribute to the conservation, restoration, enhancement and rational management of Atlantic salmon and that the issue of shark conservation and management was not within its area of competence.

Inter alia, these projects cover (i) assessment of the condition of the rangelands based on satellite data (ii) identification of the physical and socioeconomic factors involved in the process of land degradation (iii) devising of rangeland management scenarios and (iv) development of soil conservation techniques.

Such activities would prepare the groundwork for the use of telemedicine and other techniques in disaster management.

(c) Identify and suggest techniques for the application of geographical information for natural resource exploitation and management

To intensify our collective efforts for the management, conservation and sustainable development of all types of forests.

The Agreement provides a framework for the conservation and management of fish stocks in the high seas.

The precautionary principle and the ecosystem approach are fundamental to the conservation and management of fishing resources.

3. Regional review of the status of fisheries and of conservation and management measures . 202 222 56

Exploration, development, management and conservation of the living and non living natural resources of the economic zone

VI. Efforts undertaken in FAO concerning incidental catch of seabirds in longline fisheries conservation and effective management of shark populations and management of fishing capacity

The international community has continued to focus over the past year on issues relating to navigation, the conservation and management of living marine resources, and the conservation and management of the biological diversity of the sea bed in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

Farm management techniques in the context of tillage, crop management, water management and chemical inputs are already used by farmers as the means to optimize productivity while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
