against infections and diseases transboundary animal and plants,
such as in the many cases of FMD emergency or by locusts in
Africa, rinderpest and, more recently, in monitoring real-world
animal of the epidemic of avian influenza, above its speculation
and political. |
The FAO inter alia provides on-line a huge

Each time a drought or other natural
occurrence against destroying the already small subsistence food
sources are now present in many underdeveloped countries, often
consisting of food obtained by irrigation of one per cent of all
cultivable land there, we too often helpless the extermination
of entire population, incisively women, the elderly and
children. That is why FAO decided to pursue a policy based on
the basic pillars based on the consolidation of production of
food and its proper preservation, if possible by organizing the
distribution. |
The irrigation for vast
areas of food grains abandoned and the
diversification of agricultural products
in order to protect the most needy with
food safeguard mechanisms, and the
stabilization of social conflicts,
ethnic and military can allow an
agricultural development, technological
and socio - cheap.
