Around 200 field projects (excluding emergency activities) are operational in 34 Asia-Pacific countries covering crops, soil and water, livestock, fisheries, forestry, food security, nutrition, agricultural policy support, the environment and rural development.
Within FAO's set of global strategic priorities to meet the food security challenges
in the Asia-Pacific region by 2015, the focus is on:
|
|
Reaching small farmers – men and women alike – through farm-based livelihood programmes, especially for rice which supplies more than half the dietary energy of over three billion people |
|
Reducing damage to agriculture from natural disasters |
|
Assisting countries in securing the best deal from new world trade rules relating to agriculture, fisheries and forestry |
|
Bringing about environment-friendly agricultural production gains through a judicious mix of modern science and indigenous knowledge |
|

|
|
| No meetings planned for the near future. |
