Supply of information to member countries is an important part of our work. The objective is to expand FAO's position as a global focal point for developing countries on agricultural engineering issues and to create an awareness of the crucial importance of Agricultural Mechanization as a key input to agricultural production and food security. To fulfill this function we have several activities to support the main objective. These are Participation in and Support for Conferences and Workshops and production of Bulletins and Other Publications on Agricultural Engineering subjects related to development.
