Focal point
Location
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.

Over the past two decades, political developments as well as macro-economic and extra-sectoral policies have affected the forests of Asia and the Pacific to an unprecedented extent, resulting in deforestation and forest degradation. Responding to the diminishing capacity of the region's natural forests to produce timber, many countries have turned to forest plantations. Governments and their respective forest agencies are asking what it takes to encourage non-government entities to grow trees.
From vision to action. A synthesis of experiences in least-developed countries in Southeast Asia
An outcome of the second phase of a joint FAO-ESCAP pilot project, this document provides the study reports of three countries – Cambodia, Lao People's Democratic Republic and Myanmar – in their efforts to transform their national water visions to action in the quest for better management of water resources in the region. The process of formulating national water visions serves as a guide for integrated water resources management in all sector activities and at all levels of water resources management.

Baux agricoles
Le présent guide sur Les baux agricoles vise à informer les organisations locales qui travaillent avec les petits agriculteurs et d’autres membres des collectivités rurales sur les éléments essentiels à inclure dans les baux agricoles. Des baux équitables et sûrs servant à la fois les intérêts du fermier et du propriétaire peuvent faciliter l’accès à la terre, améliorer la production agricole et assurer l’accès à l’alimentation.
