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.

Dans toutes les villes en Afrique se sont développés des modes spécifiques de transport qui jouent un rôle fondamental dans la redistribution des produits alimentaires intermarchéss et dans l’approvisionnement de tout le secteur informel marchand. Ces modes de transport non mécanisés ou mécanisés offrent un service parfaitement adapté aux petits volumes traités et aux capacités financières réduites des différents intervenants, grossistes comme détaillants. Ils jouent par conséquent un rôle essentiel dans le maintien de faibles coûts de redistribution intra-urbaine.

This thematic study provides a review and description of the trends in development of forest related legislation in a selected range of Asia-Pacific countries. The paper stresses the importance of often neglected factors in policy formulation such as the need for clear property rights, the significance of fuelwood supply, the correct identification of affected parties and the accurate valuation of intangible benefits. The need for better resource information and the correct pricing of forest products are also seen as important in promoting sustainable forest management in the region
