Partnerships report 2024
2025Also available in:
No results found.Unity is the cornerstone of FAO’s mission to address global challenges and achieve food security and nutrition for all, leaving no one behind. This report summarizes FAO’s partnership activities with non-state actors in 2024 – including academia and research institutions, civil society organizations and the private sector – exploring how FAO and its partners work together for transformative outcomes, guided by the framework of FAO’s four betters. It presents key data on partnership achievements, from the number and global distribution of partnerships to success stories that illustrate how these alliances address the complexity of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The report also charts events, capacity-building initiatives, and communication and outreach efforts that have strengthened FAO’s broader partnership actions throughout the year. -
FAO GISMGR 2.0
API reference
2025Also available in:
No results found.This guide provides the API reference documentation for GISMGR 2.0, the FAO system designed to import, manage, share, and publish GIS raster data. It describes in detail the REST API endpoints available, including their functions, parameters, and expected responses, offering a complete framework for interacting programmatically with the system. Through this guide, you will learn how to authenticate requests, manage workspaces and users, configure data storage, create and update styles, and publish raster maps. It also explains how to handle cloud storage buckets, define roles and permissions, and work with Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs), ensuring that your data are properly managed and integrated into the platform. Acquiring this knowledge is particularly valuable for developers, system administrators, and advanced data managers who need to automate workflows, integrate external applications, or customize how geospatial data are published and shared. By mastering these APIs, you can move beyond the graphical user interface and gain precise control over data ingestion, styling, and dissemination. Ultimately, this reference enables you to fully exploit the power of GISMGR 2.0 as a scalable and interoperable environment for geospatial data management, supporting collaboration, innovation, and evidence-based decision-making. -
FAO GISMGR 2.0
Web User Interface user manual
2025Also available in:
No results found.This guide provides a complete overview of the FAO GISMGR 2.0 Web User Interface (Web UI), the application designed to manage and publish geospatial raster data through an intuitive, browser-based environment. While GISMGR 2.0 also offers APIs for programmatic interaction, the Web UI allows users to perform the same core functions without needing advanced coding skills. In this manual, you will find detailed instructions on how to navigate the platform, create and manage workspaces, users, and roles, and organize resources such as maps, mapsets, mosaicsets, dimensions, grids, and styles. It also explains how to upload and process data through cloud storage buckets, apply styles for visualization, and preview results directly within the application. Acquiring this knowledge is particularly valuable for data providers, managers, and GIS specialists who need to collaborate in a shared environment, ensuring that datasets are properly ingested, styled, stored, and made accessible to others. The manual also covers system messages, permissions, and user profile management, helping you operate securely and efficiently. Ultimately, this guide equips you with the framework to use GISMGR 2.0 Web UI not just as a storage tool, but as a collaborative geospatial management system – enabling effective data sharing, visualization, and integration to support agriculture, environment, and sustainable development initiatives. -
Cropland nutrient balance
Global, regional and country trends 1961–2023
2025Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT domain Cropland nutrient balance disseminates nutrient flows in a given country and year. The cropland nutrient balance can give an indication of nutrient use efficiency, as it can help quantify excess nutrients leading to environmental risks, for instance, greenhouse gas emissions or pollution from volatilization and leaching/runoff. It can also signal cropland nutrient deficits that limit crop production. The 2025 update of the cropland nutrient balance analyses global, regional and country trends for the period 1961–2023. It is a joint effort of FAO with the International Fertilizer Association (IFA) in collaboration with the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, CEIGRAM-Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Wageningen University & Research, the University of Nebraska and the African Plant Nutrition Institute.
