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.

Sin embargo, estas tendencias deben aún ser reforzadas, especialmente en los países que han quedado a la zaga.

Brazil and FAO
As a founding member of FAO, over the past 70 years Brazil has partnered with FAO to eradicate hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition and to improve rural livelihoods. Brazil is a leading partner in FAO´s South-South Cooperation Programme and plays an increasingly important role in the field of emergencies, where it is expected to become a key supporter of FAO’s efforts build resilient livelihoods in the face of threats and crises.
Demandes nationales de sciages
L’importance économique et sociale de la consommation domestique de bois est aujourd’hui reconnue en Afrique centrale, mais elle est largement alimentée par des sciages d’origine informelle. Personne n’a encore développé une compréhension globale de ces filières afin d’élaborer les conditions d’améliorer la légalité de ce commerce et de ces pratiques.
Land and People in Protracted Crises
This note focuses on the topic of access to land and land governance in protracted crises, providing some possible solutions illustrated by case studies from FAO interventions in such contexts. Protracted crisis represent a signal of alert on the fact that approaches proposed so far where not enough to deal with such a complexity. This is why a renewed thinking is needed, based on the concrete observations of local dynamics, making an effort to understand the positions and interests of the many diverse parties involved and moving out from a sectorial vision, towards a more holistic one.
