Work on land and soils has seen one of the largest drops in the proportion of FAO\u2019s Regular Programme resources (27 percent since 1994-05). With the 2007 restructuring, the Land and Plant Nutrition Management Service was split and five professional staff positions involved with plant nutrition were moved to the Plant Production and Protection Division while four professional staff positions related to soils and land were moved to the Land Tenure Management Unit (NRLA) in the new Natural Resources Department. There are thus now only four headquarters-based professional staff positions on soils and land resources<\/SPAN><\/B>. 413. Outcomes and impacts: <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>There can be little doubt that FAO\u2019s previous work in soils and land has been fundamental to the current state of knowledge and remains a key reference. FAO work has provided the basis for<\/SPAN> global work in soils, land and agro-ecological zone classification and mapping. Within FAO and elsewhere, this work has also provided the base maps and primary data layers in multi-layered Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that are used to analyse trends related to vulnerability related to food insecurity, poverty, and the environment. A user survey undertaken within the framework of the auto-evaluation of the land and water information systems entities found that the information systems and databases were user friendly and widely applied in perspective studies; GIS and modelling, advocacy and awareness raising; policy discussions; and educational purposes. 573. New techniques of remote sensing, computer imaging and GIS potential continually require standards to be updated. Matters like the World Soil Map and the work on agro-ecological zoning can only be undertaken and further developed on the basis of internationally agreed classification standards and methodologies on how to assemble analyse and present data. FAO has proven to provide the best forum for this in the past. The International Soil Reference and Information Centre (ISRIC) and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), as well as the Centres of the CGIAR and various Agricultural Universities are potential alternative sources of supply, but only up to a point. They are not able to offer the international coverage, independent forum or authority of FAO. The IEE has concluded that a critical role should be retained by FAO<\/B><\/SPAN>. 574. Recommendation 3.12: <\/SPAN>Lands and soils should be given greater priority<\/SPAN><\/B>. If FAO is forced to choose it must give priority to preserving the global information system, but if it regains the cutting edge of global data development these approaches and methods will need also to be transferred to member countries for application at national level. Capacity building in this and the inter-face with policy are important areas for assistance.

Lands and soils: <\/SPAN>In the IEE questionnaire to Directors of Agriculture, work on land and soils scored second equal in their order of priorities. This has been one of the more heavily cut areas of FAO\u2019s work and has not attracted significant extra-budgetary resources. Given the sharp decline in human and financial resources and the resulting limited coverage that FAO can provide on soils issues, a fundamental question for the IEE was whether continuing work by FAO in this area can or should be justified.<\/SPAN> There can be little doubt that critical mass, if not already lost, is now seriously imperilled. There can be no doubt of the challenge, population pressure, demand for increased supply of agricultural products, urbanisation and climate change are all puttingpressure on land resources. Soils are more fragile under tropical than temperate conditions and no where is this more the case than in <\/SPAN><\/I> Esperemos que escuchen en lugar de malgastar el dinero en in\u00fatiles reuniones pol\u00edticas en los pa\u00edses m\u00e1s ex\u00f3ticos (con abundante comida y magnificas visitas), mientras que los expertos<\/SPAN><\/B> no pueden realizar sus misiones de asesoramiento al tercer mundo e implementar sus bases de datos.

Juan Jos\u00e9 Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez Hoy en las Alertas electr\u00f3nicas de la IUSS, aparece una buena noticia para todos los edaf\u00f3logos. Aunque se trata de un borrador aun por terminar, el Grupo Independiente de Evaluaci\u00f3n Externa de la FAO recrimina a su direcci\u00f3n de haber abandonado a su suerte en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os los estudios sobre suelos y la asistencia en esta materia al tercer mundo. Las decisiones tomadas por sus \u201cejecutivos\u201d, han dejado al Staff de suelos de la FAO en cuadro (4 colegas).
