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.

Les sols sains constituent le plus grand réservoir de carbone sur la terre. Quand ils sont gérés de façon durable, les sols peuvent jouer un rôle important en faveur de l’atténuation du changement climatique, en stockant le carbone (séquestration) et en diminuant les émissions de gaz à effet de serre dans l’atmosphère.

Foresters Call for Action: Future Land Management Needs Better Integration of Sectors
The XIV World Forestry Congress (WFC) delivers a strong message: global challenges require increased efforts to better manage land by integrating forests and other land uses. Why is better integration of forests and other land uses essential? What barriers on the ground must be overcome to simultaneously increase agricultural output and boost the productive and protective functions of forests? How can policymakers, the private sector, stakeholders and researchers contribute to a more integrated and sustainable approach to land use?
