This publication clarifies issues and emerging concepts relating to a new integrated and holistic approach to land use planning in line with the needs of Chapter 10 (Integrated Approach to the Planning and Management of Land Resources) of Agenda 21 of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). Definitions of land, natural resources and the various types of planning are presented and discussed. The paper introduced elements to be considered, such as land tenure issues, stakeholders, land qualities and sustainability indicators, together with the relationship between rural and urban planning. A planning sequence is briefly outlinedit begins with definition of objectives and includes the development of a framework for decision-making, the development of information databases and tools and multiple goal analysis. Finally the institutional aspects of planning and implementation are briefly discussed.
The aim of the project is to cover all vascular plants known to occur in Somalia, and establish a foundation for all future plant related work in the country. This fourth volume (The second one to appear in a planned series of four ) covers the monocotyledons. With this volume we get for the first time a detailed picture of those grasses, sedges, palms, sea grasses, lilies, e.t.c. that grow in Somalia. 585 species are treated, 50 of which have been described as new wthin the project. A number of species additional to volume 1 are also included in the project (extract from the books abstract)
This book is a revised and somewhat expanded version of the official FAO document Agriculture: Toward 2010 prepared in 1992 and early 1993 for, and considered by, the Twenty-Seventh Session of the FAO Conference in November 1993. It is the latest forward assessment by FAO of possible future developments in world food and agriculture, including the crops, livestock, forestry and fisheries sectors. The assessment is no mere exercise in world food demand and supply projections but rather the product of multidisciplinary work covering the many technical, socioeconomic and policy facts of food and agriculture. The focus is on food security, natural resources and sustainability. The book contains the most comprehensive evaluation of the agricultural potential of the land resources of the developing countries available anywhere.

The ecological potential of land and water resources for food production and agricultural development and the policies for their management were the focal point of the FAO/UNFPA/IIASA study'Land Resources for population of the future'. The result of this regional agro-ecology zones(AEZ)study for developing co8ntries in Africa, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia and Central and South America were presented at the FAO Conference in 1983.The conference recommended that the method, with a refinement of the resource data base, should be extended to detailed country planning of agriculture development.Kenya was selected for a case study to amplify and develop the methodology,
