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.

Мировой океан Нашивка
Нашивки Организации Объединенных Наций предназначены для информирования и обучения детей и молодежи, а также призваны убедить их изменить свое поведение и стать активными инициаторами перемен в обществе. Серия нашивок может быть использована в работе со школьниками и молодежными группами, а также с группами гайдов (ВАГГГС) и скаутов (ВОСД). Задания для получения нашивок могут быть легко адаптированы учителями или лидерами.
Building a Common Vision for Sustainable Food and Agriculture
Over the coming 35 years, agriculture will face an unprecedented confluence of pressures, including a 30 percent increase in the global population, intensifying competition for increasingly scarce land, water and energy resources, and the existential threat of climate change. To provide for a population projected to reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and support changing dietary patterns, estimates are that food production will need to increase from the current 8.4 billion tonnes to almost 13.5 billion tonnes a year.
Poplars and Willows: Trees for Society and the Environment
Taxonomy and classification of the Salicaceae are addressed in an authoritative manner, with descriptions of all important individual species, but recognizing the differences in philosophy that still exist in these topics. Natural ecosystems are described. Genetic resources of poplars and willows are covered comprehensively, including selection, tree improvement and conservation, as well as the latest developments in genomics.
