The status of salt-affected soils in Eurasia with a focus on UzbekistanSoils FAO-GSP
The document discusses salt-affected soils in the Eurasian region, with a focus on Uzbekistan. Salt-affected soils are a major problem for agriculture and food security, affecting over 40% of irrigated croplands in Central Asia. In Uzbekistan, approximately 48% of irrigated lands are salt-affected, causing annual losses of $31 million. Recent government programs aim to improve irrigation systems and rehabilitate over 1 million hectares of degraded land through measures like deep ripping, crop diversification, and afforestation. International organizations have invested over $1 billion in water and agriculture projects to address land and water management issues in Uzbekistan.

The document discusses the International Network of Salt-Affected Soils (INSAS), which aims to facilitate sustainable management of salt-affected soils globally. Salinization is one of the major threats to soil resources. INSAS objectives include promoting sustainable salt-affected soil management, developing a global status report, and providing a platform for countries to discuss issues and practices. The Global Soil Partnership is working to update the global soil salinity map through training programs and an integrated soil information system.
The role and importance of INSAS for natural resource managementSoils FAO-GSP
The International Network for Salt-Affected Soils (INSAS) operates under the Global Soil Partnership and FAO to address the growing issue of salt-affected soils. Salt-affected soils occur in over 100 countries and threaten food security, especially in dry regions. Climate change is exacerbating the problem by reducing water availability and allowing seawater intrusion. INSAS aims to connect countries facing this issue, share best practices for managing salt-affected soils, and help ensure global food security.
The status of salt-affected soils in Africa with a focus on DjiboutiSoils FAO-GSP
1) Djibouti is a small country in East Africa with a population of less than one million. It has little rainfall and no surface freshwater, relying on groundwater for drinking and irrigation.
2) Soil salinity is a major problem in Djibouti, with most soils being saline or very saline due to the arid climate and lack of freshwater. This soil salinity leads to low agricultural production and food insecurity.
3) Addressing soil salinity through techniques like cover crops, mulching, and fertigation is a key factor in improving food security. Djibouti is working to establish partnerships to develop strategies to reduce soil salinity and improve soil health.

This document summarizes research on mapping soil salinity variation in Senegal's peanut basin region using remote sensing data. The study area showed electrical conductivity values ranging from 40-542 mS/m. Random Forest and Kriging models were used to map soil salinity, with Random Forest performing better with a lower RMSE of 19.46 mS/m. The most important variables in the Random Forest model were spectral bands from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, NDWI water index, and radar bands from Sentinel-1. Accurately mapping soil salinity at a national scale could help determine affected areas, develop rehabilitation strategies, and inform organizations like INSAS on soil conditions.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.

• Agree on the structure and content of the manual
20. 6. Proficiency testing (PT)
• Presentation of the
PT results from Asia
and Latin America
[upcoming
publication of
regional PT results]
21. 6. Proficiency testing (PT)
• Decision to execute a global PT (100 laboratories,
samples from Mexico) – decision on the soil
parameters to assess in the PT
• Decision to move the request for a resolution for
the free exchange of soil samples for research to
countries at the 7th GSP Plenary Assembly.
Resolution approved. Resolution to be brought to
the attention of FAO Council
22. 6. Proficiency testing (PT)
• Start the compilation of an open access online
database on national custom and laboratory import
procedures. To be launched in 2020 and to be
regularly updated.
23. 6. Proficiency testing (PT)
• Revision of the GSP Soil Data Policy. Amendment
endorsed by the 7th GSP Plenary Assembly
24. 6. Proficiency testing (PT)
• Additional actions taken in 2019…

27. 7. Harmonization of databases –
development of transfer functions
1. Harmonization of data obtained using different GLOSOLAN SOPs
PROPOSAL ENDORSED (Leader: Richard Ferguson, USDA, USA)
Soil parameter to harmonize at first: soil organic carbon (Walkley-Black and
the dry combustion methods)
2. Harmonization of data obtained using GLOSOLAN SOPs and ISO standards
PROPOSAL ABOLISHED as it is not needed
3. Harmonization of data obtained using national methods and GLOSOLAN SOPs
PROPOSAL ENDORSED (Leader: Louise Ander, BGS UK)
Survey those laboratories that cannot use GLOSOLAN SOPs. Eventually organize
trainings on the development of transfer functions.
4. Harmonization of historical databases – DISCUSSION POST-PONED
Waiting for results from point 1. It is going to be very difficult.
