In order to strengthen the analytical capacity of soil laboratories worldwide, GLOSOLAN is organizing a series of training sessions. The first series focuses on soil spectroscopy to help countries to understand soil conditions, improve agricultural productivity and reverse land degradation. Six webinars on soil spectroscopy, led by leading scientists, are being held throughout this second half of 2021 to provide participants with the basics of the most advanced aspects of this topic. To enable all interested parties to take advantage of this unique learning opportunity, the FAO Global Soil Partnership is making video recordings of all webinars available free of charge on the GLOSOLAN website.
RemTech Europe, International Conference and Exhibition on land and water remediation markets and technologies, will be held on 20-24 September 2021. The first two days of the conference 20-21 September will be fully digital, and broadcasted in streaming. The other three days 22-24 September will be hybrid. The conference will be fully in English and participation is free of charge.
The annual RemTech Europe conference will take a snapshot of the European market and the development trends. The aim of the Conference is: (1) to share information on knowledge, innovation and case histories, (2) to encourage the development of remediation processes and the application of new and sustainable technologies, and (3) to bring together experts, problem owners and suppliers of available services and technologies. RemTech Europe also provides a platform for discussion between stakeholders.

This action sheet is part of a series of tools developed under the seven key priority areas of FAO's COVID-19 Response and Recovery programme, the FAO umbrella programme designed to proactively address the socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic. Each action sheet includes a project proposal in support of countries most in need for which FAO is leveraging high-level political, financial, and technical expertise. All action sheets are gathered on the Food Coalition web hub, where members of the Coalition - a multi-stakeholder global alliance for a unified global action in response to COVID-19 - can easily access the action sheet project-focused information and data as well as the funding gaps on the ground, the type of assistance that would be required and decide how they wish to contribute: through voluntary contributions, the provision of expertise, innovative solutions and an exchange of knowledge and experience.
