As part of the GSP’s capacity development and improvement programme, FAO/GSP have organised a one week training in Izmir, Turkey. The main goal of the training was to increase the capacity of Turkey on digital soil mapping, new approaches on data collection, data processing and modelling of soil organic carbon. This 5 day training is titled ‘’Training on Digital Soil Organic Carbon Mapping’’ was held in IARTC - International Agricultural Research and Education Center in Menemen, Izmir on 20-25 August, 2017.

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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Pillar 4 of the GSP essentially addresses the
development of an enduring and authoritative
global system to monitor and forecast the
condition of the Earth’s soil resources.

5. Pillar 4
Implementation Plan
• Based on the endorsed Plan
of Action.
• Developed by P4WG/INSII
• Provides the guidance to
build the global soil
information system
(GloSIS).
6. Pillar 4 >>> GloSIS
➔One of the flagship initiatives of the Global Soil Partnership
➔Owned by the member countries
➔Federated architecture
➔Co-operative design, actively involving all stakeholders
➔Supports countries in developing their own soil data and
information systems.
➔Develop and improve capacities at national level
Global Soil Partnership and member countries building a Global Soil
Information System (GloSIS) relying on national capacities and
national soil information systems.
7. GloSIS Implementation
➔Coordinated by GSP Secretariat and GSP Soil
Data Facility (SDF; ISRIC – World Soil
Information), with contributions from Pillar 4
Working Group, Pillar 5, soil information
experts.
➔Establishment of the federated (country-
driven) Global Soil Information System
(GLOSIS) in accordance with the approved
Pillar 4 Implementation Plan.
8. Data Products
• Soil profile databases (Tiered Approach – T1
T2)
• Global polygon coverage, to replace
FAO/UNESCO Soil Map of the World (1:5M,
1971-1980)
• Global Grids:
• Harmonized World Soil Database, HWSD V2
• Fine-resolution grid of soil properties, V0
• Fine resolution grid of soil properties, V1
9. Data Products
Soil Profile Databases – Tiered Approach
Tier 1 SPDB - This is a large soil profile and analytical
database for the world without the stringent requirement for
a minimum parameter set or representativeness which often
severely limits the number of available profiles.
The objective of such a database is to provide access to as
many digital profile data sets as possible.
10. Data Products
Soil Profile Databases – Tiered Approach
• Tier 2 SPDB - This is a “world reference-soil database”
containing well-described and analysed soil profiles.
• Tier 2 includes harmonized and quality-assured
morphological, physical and chemical data for soil
profiles which are globally representative of geographic
regions, major soil types.
Status > Technical specifications (draft completed, July 2018, SDF)
11. Data Products
Global Polygon Coverage and HWSD V2
• GPC - This product suits users requiring an overview of global soil
geography. The polygon map consists of discrete map units with
accompanying soil classification as well as soil properties at the map unit
level.
• HWSD2 - The current HWSD is v1.2 , the result of a collaboration
between the FAO with IIASA, ISRIC-World Soil Information, Institute of Soil
Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISSCAS), and the Joint Research
Centre of the European Commission (JRC). New regional soil data and
information available for updating the Harmonized World Soil Database
(HWSD).
Status > postponed
12. Data Products
Fine Resolution Soil Grids
• V0 - The fine-resolution grid Version 0 represents raster data sets
based on the up-scaling of validated, measured soil profiles in
conjunction with a large number of covariate layers that have some
relation to soil geography (e.g., DEM, terrain indices, vegetation
indices, soil polygon maps) and soil forming factors using digital soil
mapping techniques.
13. Data Products
Fine Resolution Soil Grids
V1 - The Version 0 grid, has the following differences from
the envisioned final Version 1 product:
• Not all the world is represented by national/regional
contributions to the v0 grid.
• The v0 grid is neither harmonized nor seamless.
• The Version 0 horizontal resolution (1km) is significantly
coarse compared to Version 1 (3x3 Arc-second, roughly
90 m).
Status > First V0 grid launched – Global Soil Organic Carbon GSOCmap

➔The process proved the feasibility of the distributed approach;
➔Established trust and bond between member countries and the
FAO GSP;
➔The best available estimation of global SOC stocks;
➔National and regional expert knowledge well embedded and
applicable for reporting on national level;
➔Unveiled also the current status of the national soil information;
➔The map will help to shape policy and action towards climate
change mitigation, sequestering more carbon and protecting
carbon rich soils.
22. Statistics component of the Global Soil Information System
(GLOSIS) and the tool for monitoring global soil resources.
The GSP and its partners will design SoilSTAT and the
system will be used for monitoring, forecasting and
reporting periodically on the status of global soil
resources. The name of the system mirrors the FAOSTAT
family.
