The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.

Guatemala

El diagnóstico del uso del riego en Guatemala evidencia el poco aprovechamiento de la superficie diseñada por los regantes, por lo que los responsables de la gestión deben contribuir a la gobernanza del agua involucrando a las organizaciones de regantes y técnicos. El proyecto a través del fortalecimiento de capacidades para la gobernabilidad del agua está enfocado en el aumento y mejora del suministro de los bienes y servicios procedentes de la agricultura, de la actividad forestal y la pesca.

sound policies across agriculture-related sectors, including forestry and fisheries.
