Abstract: Agriculture, fisheries and forestry have, for centuries, provided the main source of livelihood for the population of many small islands. These activities still represents a major source of income for many small island developing states (SIDS) and the sustainable management of such activities remains crucial for the future of these states. The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) enjoys a long history of partnership with SIDS. Since the launching of the Barbados Programme of Action in 1994, FAO has extended considerable technical assistance to SIDS and implemented a large number of regional and interregional projects. This chapter summarises the action taken by FAO in favour of SIDS with regard to the global trading environment, agriculture, fisheries, forestry, the environment in general, and capacity building.
