FAO is a key player in
emergencies. Its focus is on food production and
agriculture, reflecting its specialization and
responsibility within the United Nations family. Assisting
in preventing disaster-related emergencies, providing early
warnings of food emergencies and helping in rehabilitation
of food production systems are FAO's predominant roles in
humanitarian aid. The main forms of FAO's intervention
include needs assessments, provision of agricultural inputs
and technical assistance for the planning and management of
sustainable recovery and rehabilitation of rural productions
systems.
