As the main planting season begins in South Sudan, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has announced today that it is accelerating its efforts to get vital seeds, tools and other materials to some of the country's most vulnerable farmers. "We have a small window to provide farmers with the inputs they need to start planting,” Karim Bah, FAO's Emergency Response Manager in South Sudan, said in a statement.
