What are the potential entry points for government to address challenges and foster the development of digital agriculture?
- Availability of digital agriculture and geo data base.
- GIS & RS Graduated staff (capacity building) for such digital data base (data collector, data entry and data analyzer …etc.).
- Cooperation or data exchange between farmers and agriculture / statistics extensions.
- Ability for data base updates & harmonization.
- Financial resources: formulation & running cost for the structure of digital agriculture unit.
- Financial resources: survey / gathering and frequently updating the data base.
- Digital data accessibility between the unit staff and/or between the stakeholders.
- Capacity building for the unit staff (policy and technical staff).
How can the establishment of the Digital Council address the numerous barriers to adoption of these technologies?
- By creating an environmental present / prediction maps (land, water & land suitability, land use …etc), road map for marketing and investment map.
- If the data are accessible to different governmental sectors & to stakeholder.
- If the data are within acceptable cost for the users.
- Build up a trusted report through international consultant.
Do you think that the roles identified for the Digital Council are suitable for facing the agrifood systems challenges outlined above?
In addition to the CN for this section: I think through modeling (SWAT), we have to add (Policy & Alternative for a certain crop production in a certain region) in order to increase agricultural production and productivity.
What governance structure should be in place in order for the Council to serve its purpose?
Director
Executive Council International Coordinator
Advisory Committee

In my opinion, before we start any action or comments or discussion for the gender equality in relation with sustainable soil management (SSM), we have to consider the following issues:
- Countries development / countries GDP.
- Level & type of agriculture education in the countries in relation to SSM.
- Percentage and ages of both gender in the countries.
- Courtiers policies on rural and agricultural lands.
- Unemployment percentage in the countries.
- Country security and safety.
What is the relation between sustainable soil use, management and conservation and gender equality?
Because sustainable soil management (SSM) is related to soil and agricultural extension graduate. So, to get or to find and justified this relation we have to specify and evaluate the education type and level in the countries.
What are the distinct roles for women, men, boys and girls in sustainable soil management?
Women: can play a great role in agriculture extension by convincing each other in any issue related to SSM.
Men: can play implement and demonstrate the issue related to SSM.
Boy & girls: can play a role during any rural activities related to SSM.
What are the main gender-based constraints?
- Most of soil and water specialist are Men (Education level and class).
- Most women are not accepting the farming work because it’s very hard.
- Some of societies will not accept the ladies to work in the farms.
- The low income from agricultural project specially in poor countries.
What practical solutions and approaches could help overcoming such barriers?
- Education, education level, Technical & Training Centers for both gender.
- Small & Medium enterprises (SMES) cooperate gender projects.
- Reducing land fragmentation.
- Strengthen the agricultural association specially the gender based.
- Governmental / united nation subsidies for joined gender based project.
- Facilitate and insuring the product marketing.
How can the promotion of gender equality and women’s empowerment contribute to sustainable soil management and conservation?
- Reduction in unemployment percentage (country level) especially in agriculture sector.
- Increase and enhance the preservation & protection of the natural / land resources.
- Facilitate the implementation the SSM programs (short, mid, and long term).
Which interventions at policy and project/field level are of utmost priority?
- Reduce the land fragmentation in order to attract both gender together to invest in agriculture sector and to sustain the land use.
- Create / build up / enhance an agricultural society including both genders.
- Enhance the women in agriculture field by subsidies.

Towards improved reporting on primary forests
1. Is the FAO definition on primary forest (FAO, 2018) adequate to your national/regional/global assessment and reporting purposes? If not, what criteria would you like to add/remove from the FAO definition?
We have to include (add) the following topics in the definition:
2. Is the background paper missing any major issues? If yes, please specify.
Yes
In the section of Measuring primary forest (line 299), I prefer to classify the forest based on using hyperspectral satellite images (250 bands) and creating a spectral finger print for each and every species (trees, bushes …etc.) in the forest. This will be very helpful for local, regional and global level forest modeling prediction, monitoring, and change detection of the primary forest.
3. Which methodology and data, if any, do you use to assess primary forest area and its changes?
4. Which methodological changes would be needed to improve reporting on primary forest area and its changes at national, regional and global levels, with particular emphasis on improving consistency among countries?
5. How can FAO help countries improve their reporting on primary forest?
