60 Years 1951-2011: Nepal-FAO Cooperation for a World without Hunger
Abstract:
Nepal became a member of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on 21 November 1951. Since that time Nepal and FAO have been cooperating to progress agricultural output and rural development in the country. FAO was the first among the different United Nations agencies to commence field work in Nepal, focusing initially on agriculture and water resources development. The Nepal FAO office works with the following mandate: - Put information within reach - Share policy expertise - Bring knowledge to the field The achievement of 60 years of cooperation is an opportune moment to reflect upon the successes achieved over those years while at the same time reaffirming our commitment and enthusiasm to maintain the momentum into the future. During these 60 years almost 300 projects have been implemented by the Organization, embracing a broad range of programmes aimed at agricultural and rural development. In the course of project implementation, many notable firsts and major successes have been recorded. The projects and programmes have covered: - food and nutrition security - agricultural policy and regulations - agricultural planning and statistics - horticulture development - Institutional capacity enhancement - human resources development - sustainable livelihoods - gender/social inclusion - migration and agriculture - crop diversification - commercial vegetable and vegetable seed production - medicinal and aromatic plants - integrated pest management - dairy production and diversification - feed/fodder/pasture management - technology generation and dissemination - on-farm and off-farm employment - animal/trans-boundary disease prevention and control - crop and livestock productivity enhancement (including animal breed improvement) - water management for agriculture - aquaculture - agrimarketing, post-harvest management and trade - food quality control - community and leasehold forestry management - spices development and processing - disaster risk management - emergency assistance to food insecure and disaster-affected farmers - climate change and adaptation #FAO #NutritionSecurity #SustainableAgriculturalDevelopment #11172 #11173 #pair
