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.

Bosnia and Herzegovina and FAO
Since the Bosnia and Herzegovina joined FAO in 1993, the Organization has played an active role in the implementation of national agricultural and rural development plans. Technical assistance has focused on policy advice, capacity building and – more specifically – the inclusion of family farms in high-quality food value chains. A major feature of current cooperation concerns the country’s preparation for accession to the European Union.

Más recientemente, las líneas de acción se han centrado en el apoyo institucional a la alimentación escolar y agricultura familiar, la implementación de mecanismos de adaptación al cambio climático y el fomento de la Cooperación Sur-Sur.
