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.

Reports & Research
november, 2002
Argentina

Han transcurrido 17 años desde la iniciación, en 1985, del conjunto de procesos nacionales de programación y ejecución de actividades forestales que contribuyen al desarrollo sostenible, conocido en un comienzo como los Planes de Acción Forestal Tropical (PAFT), y posteriormente, en 1992, con la revisión del marco inicial como los Programas de Acción Forestal Nacional (PAFN). Sucesivos esfuerzos para fortalecer esos procesos, superando sus iniciales deficiencias, dieron lugar a la estructuración de los programas forestales nacionales.

Americas

The ten years following the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (Rio de Janeiro, 1992) have been years of intense activity in the reformation of national and international laws. Over the last decade, sustainable developmetn has become a universal watchword, and a major catalyst for the reorientation of legal texts. Profound legal changes have been triggered by the transformation of socialist economies and the accelerating globalization of trade and economy.
