Floods, landslides, drought, storms, earthquakes and forest fires . . . Bosnia and Herzegovina is prone to natural disasters that hurt agriculture. Supported by the Swiss Government, FAO organized a conference here today on “Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Guidelines,” presenting findings and recommendations for improving current methodologies for assessing damages and losses in agriculture.

The Government of Switzerland supported the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Bosnia and Herzegovina in helping the agricultural sector to recover from the disastrous floods of 2014, and to improve its preparedness for future emergencies.
