As a knowledge organization, one of FAO's mandates is to put information within reach - to collect, analyse, interpret and disseminate data that aid development. This includes publications for specialist and general audiences.
This catalogue presents titles published by the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific during the 2004-05 biennium. Included is a CD-ROM of publications dating back to 1999. Subjects range from advocacy products to technical publications that target development issues in the region relating to agriculture, nutrition, fisheries, forestry and rural development, as well as policy advice and technical assistance to member countries.
It is hoped that this catalogue provides a handy reference source to the titles produced by the FAO regional office, and that the publications contained herein offer insight into the technical, policy and management issues challenging the region in achieving food security for all through sustainable agriculture and rural development.
