<body BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> <p>Food Security. FAO's Special Programme for Food Security (SPFS) aims at increasing food security in Low Income and Food Deficit Countries (LIFDC's) through rapid increases in productivity and food production as well as through reduction in year-to-year variability of production on an economically and environmentally sustainable basis. In the pilot phase emphasis is put on intensification, water control, diversification of production and resolving socio-economic constraints. In the expansion phase emphasis is on policy reform and investment. On 6/1/99 the programme was operational in 39 countries.</p> <p>You need to have a frame capable browser to view the SPFS pages.
