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.

يستكشف تقرير حالة الأغذية والزراعة 2008 انعكاسات النمو السريع الذي حدث مؤخراً في إنتاج الوقود الحيوي القائم على السلع الأساسية الزراعية. والازدهار الذي شهده إنتاج الوقود الحيوي السائل تقف وراءه، إلى حد كبير، سياسات في البلدان المتقدمة تستند إلى مساهمات ذلك الوقود الإيجابية المتوقعة في التخفيف من تغير المناخ وتحقيق أمن الطاقة والتنمية الزراعية. والطلب المتزايد على السلع الأساسية الزراعية، من أجل إنتاج الوقود الحيوي، تترتب عليه عواقب كبيرة بالنسبة للأسواق الزراعية، ويتصاعد القلق بشأن تأثيره السلبي على الأمن الغذائي لملايين البشر في مختلف أنحاء العالم.

The availability and quality of clean water in many regions of the world is more and more threatened by overuse, misuse and pollution. In this context, the relationship between forests and water must be accorded high priority. Forested catchments supply a high proportion of the water for domestic, agricultural, industrial and ecological needs in both upstream and downstream areas. A key challenge faced by land, forest and water managers is to maximize the benefits that forests provide without detriment to water resources and ecosystem function.

Durant l’Année internationale de la montagne en 2002, la FAO et ses partenaires ont lancé une évaluation à grande échelle et un examen mondial de l’état actuel et des tendances futures de l’aménagement intégré et participatif des bassins versants. Les objectifs généraux étaient de promouvoir l’échange et la diffusion d’expériences dans la mise en œuvre de ces projets durant la décennie 1990–2000, et d’aider à identifier une vision pour une nouvelle génération de programmes et projets.
