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.

Situation des forêts du monde 2012
La dixième édition du rapport sur la Situation des forêts du monde part d'un constat fondamental: les forêts, la foresterie et les produits forestiers jouent un rôle essentiel dans le développement durable. La Situation des forêts du monde est publiée tous les deux ans. Dans toute l'histoire de l'humanité, le développement économique a entraîné dans son sillage la déforestation. C'est d'ailleurs en grande partie en raison de la déforestation qu'a été mis au point le concept de développement durable, qui a ensuite évolué au sein des sciences forestières.
