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 1716 - 1720 of 5074Tajikistan and FAO
Cooperation between Tajikistan and FAO has been ongoing since the country joined the Organization in 1995. FAO assistance was initially provided in the form of short-term emergency interventions to respond to a locust outbreak and also to help the country in its transition to stability after a spell of civil war. More recently, cooperation has shifted to a focus on rehabilitation and development interventions to build a sustainable agriculture sector and food and nutrition security.

AquaCrop-GIS, Version 2.1
AquaCrop-GIS has been designed to facilitate the use of the AquaCrop model (Steduto et al., 2009) when a high number of simulations is needed, simplifying the task of generating input and projects files and the management of output files. The AquaCrop-GIS tool prepares the required inputs, executes AquaCrop, elaborates the results and shows them in a Geographic Information System. This Manual describes how to use AquaCrop-GIS to carry out as many AquaCrop simulations as required, while the tool is described in detail in Lorite et al. (2013).
