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.

L’étude a été menée à l’aide de la plateforme MOSAICC (Modelling System for Agricultural Impacts of Climate Change) MOSAICC est une plateforme intégrée regroupant un ensemble de modèles et d’outils pour évaluer les impacts des changements climatiques à l’échelle nationale. Son architecture a été développée dans le but de permettre aux différents experts de collaborer à distance quel que soit leurs appartenance (ministères, universités, institutions de recherche) en utilisant leurs propres données.

Нормально функционирующие почвы играют ключевую роль в снабжении чистой водой и в обеспечении устойчивости к наводнениям и засухам. Благодаря своей водопроницаемости почва задерживает содержащиеся в воде загрязняющие вещества и препятствует их выщелачиванию в грунтовые воды. Кроме того, почва удерживает и сохраняет воду, обеспечивая ее доступность для сельскохозяйственных культур и, тем самым, сводит к минимуму испарение с поверхности и максимально повышает эффективность и производительность водопользования.

Cooperation between the Republic of Djibouti and FAO has steadily increased since the representation was opened in 2008. Assistance has covered a range of areas concerning agricultural, livestock and fisheries production. Over the past decade, the country has been affected by a series of major droughts which have severely affected livelihoods, particularly in rural communities. FAO continues to strengthen its collaboration with Djibouti, emphasizing resilience and sustainable development initiatives, including projects targeting agro-pastoralists.
