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.

Modern bioenergy systems are attracting increasing attention from governments in Asia as a potential solution to a range of policy problems related to energy security and sustainable development. Despite growing interest in bioenergy systems, there is still a limited understanding of how their expansion could impact on natural resources such as water. This paper aims to shed some light on the relationship between modern bioenergy development and water depletion using a case study on the biofuel sector in Thailand.

The drafting of this handbook was initiated in October 2007,

in Ghana, by Ines Beernaerts, in the framework of the FAOKNUST

project on “Evaluation of non-treatment options for

maximizing public health benefits of WHO guidelines governing

the use of wastewater in urban vegetable production in Ghana”.

The Farmer Field School (FFS) approach was introduced in

the FAO-KNUST project and materialized in this handbook to

enhance the experimental learning of the (peri-) urban farmers.
