Meanwhile, the agro industry sector is being improved in order to strengthen urban rural linkages, which are critical for job creation, poverty reduction and combating hunger.

Tasks included spatial analysis of vulnerability patterns, monthly food security early warning bulletins, seasonal reports and agro meteorological monitoring, which required various types of Earth observation data.

General description There is a need for the developing countries to build up a more energy efficient and environmentally sustainable agro processing sector, especially in the leather, textile, wood and food industries, as well as a need for sustainable land management to fight desertification and increase land productivity.

The interventions build on commodities and the related secondary agro processing industries with emphasis on food (e.g. fish, meat, dairy, vegetable oils) and non food (wood and non wood forest products, textiles and garments, leather and skins) products.

Recent regulations and private sector standards in the food sector present new challenges for developing country exporters of horticultural products.
