The government of Colombia and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, FARC, have asked FAO to collaborate in the implementation of the first point of the peace agreement they recently signed, which centres on fighting hunger and promoting rural reforms and development. The peace agreement is the result of a four-year negotiation ending five decades of armed conflict. Its first point – Towards a New Colombian Countryside: Comprehensive Rural Reform – seeks to transform rural areas of Colombia hard hit by the armed conflict.
