MONITORING
Establishing and running a National
Forest Monitoring System (NFMS) is a
complex task for governments. These
systems serve to better inform forest-
related decisions, thereby supporting
the sustainable development of forests
at national level. Their formulation
nonetheless requires a long-term vision
and interdisciplinary collaboration,
which is both a demanding and an
exciting endeavour. These guidelines
support this process by placing
NFMS in the broader context of
national forest-related decision
processes and addressing a number
of relevant strategic, operational and
technical points. This publication

Wood is the most important source of energy for the majority of

in larger towns, and wood chips are slowly entering the market. This
handbook is a source of useful information for woodfuel users and
producers. It seeks to support modern, technology-led growth in the

While it has recorded higher economic growth rates
than any other region in the recent past,
Asia and the Pacific continues to be home to
over 60 percent of the worlds undernourished
population. FAOs commitment in both Asia and the
Pacific Islands has focused on strengthening food
security, improving diets, and enhancing equitable,
productive and sustainable natural resource
management and use. The region is prone to a
wide range of natural disasters, including tropical
cyclones and flooding or alternate flooding and
drought conditions. Another critical regional priority
is to improve the capacity of local populations to
increase their resilience, adapt to changing weather
patterns, and more generally cope with the impacts
of climate change on food and agriculture. The

The Regional Office for Latin America and the
Caribbean works on a series of priority areas
in order to achieve the eradication of hunger in
the region. Collaborating closely with national
governments, civil society, academia, indigenous
peoples, the private sector and non-governmental
organizations, FAO aims to ensure food security
for all men, women and children in the region. The
three regional priorities are: to support major food
security programmes throughout all sectors of society
and guarantee the right to food for all (Hunger-Free
Latin America and Caribbean Initiative); to promote
the productive development and social well-being
of family farming, as well as the appropriate
representation and participation of food systems
and rural development strategies; and to support
the transition towards sustainable development
of agriculture, fisheries and forests from a socio-
economic and environmental perspective. The
Regional Offices publications reflect these priorities.

REGIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
NEAR EAST
AND NORTH
AFRICA
Eliminating food insecurity and malnutrition are
persistent challenges in the Near East and North
Africa. The structural dependence of countries on
food imports makes the region highly vulnerable to
shocks, increasing the inability of entire communities
to feed themselves. Recent conflicts and civil
instability in many countries of the region have also
compounded the situation. As a result, hunger, food
insecurity and malnutrition are widespread and
require comprehensive and urgent interventions.
FAO is helping governments face these challenges
NEAR EAST by improving the capacity of countries to collect,
