Two main sections of the FAO biotechnology website have recently been updated. The first, on FAO Activities, includes an introductory webpage on FAO activities in the field of biotechnology as well as one webpage each for its four main activities i.e. providing i) advice to governments ii) technical assistance iii) information and iv) a meeting place for nations. The second, on FAO Documents, provides an annotated list of freely-downloadable documents and now includes over 160 web links to a wide range of articles, books, meeting reports, proceedings and studies published by FAO, or prepared in collaboration with FAO, over the last 10 years concerning biotechnology in food and agriculture. See http://www.fao.org/biotech/act.asp and http://www.fao.org/biotech/doc.asp respectively (in Arabic, Chinese, English, French and Spanish) or contact [email protected] with any comments.
