It presents the papers, discussions and recommendations developed during the meeting. A methodology of land evaluation is being developed in FAO and will be used for the interpretation of the FAO/UNESCO Soil Map of the World with a view to making a global evaluation of the land resources available for agricultural development. The present consultation will study the possibility of using the FAO methodology in European conditions, using the information available on the 1:1 000 000 scale Soil Map of Europe out by the Consultation.
