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 2246 - 2250 of 5074Reference Manual: AquaCrop Plug-in program Version 4.0
The calculation procedures in the AquaCrop plug-in program are identical to the AquaCrop standard window program (Version 4.0) but the plug-in program has no user interface. By running the program (ACsaV40.EXE) a list of projects, pre-defined in the standard window version of AquaCrop, are carried out and results are stored in output files. The plug-in program can be used in applications where iterative runs are required (e.g. GIS environment).
