Focal point
Location
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.

Afghanistan has an area of 379,100 Sq. km classified as agriculture land. But the country is generally deficit in food production. So the availability of reliable information on natural resources and the agricultural monitoring are urgently necessary for the adoption of new strategies about rural land use planning and land management. This is the way for reducing hunger and poverty among population and to assure sustainable food and feed production for future generations. Rice is one of the three main food security crop of Afghanistan.

A methodology was selected so as to provide a consistent and robust approach to using GIS for data capture, interpretation, storage and analysis. This included the capturing of new coastal and terrestrial data along the Red Sea coastline in the timescale of the project and at an appropriate scale to carry out the site selection study. All spatial datasets are stored in the GIS at JFRC and are used where appropriate as part of the site selection and for the identification of potential areas for development.
