CSD-16 on agriculture, rural development, improved management of land resources, combating drought and desertification, and Africa

ICSU and the World Federation of Engineering Organizations have submitted a Discussion Paper to the 16th session of the CSD (CSD-16) as official input from the Scientific and Technological Community. The Discussion Paper focuses on science and technology related to agriculture, land, rural development, and drought and desertification, which will be the topics under review by CSD-16 in May 2008. Throughout the Paper special attention is paid to Africa, the regional focus of this CSD biennial cycle.

In the development of this Paper, information and perspectives were sought from all ICSU National and Scientific Union Members and Interdisciplinary Bodies. The Paper will be posted on the CSD website in all official UN languages in February 2008.
