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.

Displaying 4661 - 4665 of 5073IXe Congrès forestier mondial Mexico 1985
Le prsent numro d'Unasylva est une introduction au congrs. Il ne contient pas les documents qui seront prsents Mexico, mais un entretien avec M. Edouard Saouma, Directeur gnral de la FAO, et cinq articles qui, on l'espre, constitueront une toile de fond utile pour le congrs. Les sujets de ces articles - la foresterie au-del de l'an 2000, l'agriculture itinrante, l'agroforesterie, la foresterie communautaire et l'aspect social des contrats d'exploitation forestire - ne couvrent nullement l'ensemble des thmes qui seront traits Mexico.
Forestry and the crisis in Africa
This issue of Unasylva focuses on Africa. A large part of the continent has been overrun by drought in successive years, and millions of people are exposed to hunger and malnutrition. In many African countries, cultivation is because of hunger - rapidly expanding into forest land and areas of low rainfall. This process, coupled with necessarily unmanaged exploitation for fuelwood, fodder and other basic goods and services that forests and trees provide, has led to a progressively increasing rate of deforestation.
