South Sudan: FAO ramps up airlifts to reach conflict-hit farmers
14 May 2015, Juba--- As the main planting season begins, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization is accelerating its efforts to get vital seeds, tools and other materials to some of south Sudan's most vulnerable farmers. In the last few days almost 100 tonnes of materials have been flow from the main capital of Juba, to the Greater Upper Nile region. So far, only one of those flights was able to land at its destination, before ongoing conflict forced partners and UN agencies to suspend activities.

Serge Tissot is FAO's interim Representative in the country. In the following interview he elaborates more on what is happening on the ground. (Interview conducted by Sandra Ferrari)
