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.

Land Ownership and Foreigners: A Comparative Analysis of Regulatory Approaches to the Acquisition and Use of Land by Foreigners
This study is a revised version of a working document originally prepared by FAO in April 1995 analysing the policy and legal options available for dealing with the sensitive issue of foreign ownership of land. It provides information on the approaches that are, or have been adopted to regulate foreign ownership of land. As such, it aims at providing a framework for analysis and a representative sample of the legal techniques and strategies that have been devised to deal with the issue; it is not intended to be an authoritative summary of the state of the law in this area.
Modelaje de opciones silvopastoriles sostenibles para el sistema ganadero de doble propósito en el trópico húmedo
Programación lineal y el programa PASTOR fueron utilizados para modelar una finca ganadera de 70 ha que podría incluir: 1) pasturas naturales con y sin cercas vivas; 2) mezclas de Brachiaria brizantha/Arachis pintoi; 3) pasturas en callejones (B. brizantha/Erythrina berteroana) y 4) pastoreo en plantaciones de Tectona grandis. Si el precio de la leche se incrementa 10 o 25%, el modelo predice que la producción de leche se incrementaría 14 o 41%, respectivamente. El modelo predice máximos ingresos netos cuando se plantan linderos de T. grandis en pasturas naturales o mezclas de B.
