The FAO Statistical Pocketbook is a new product belonging to a family of revamped statistical products. Like its parent publication - The FAO Statistical Yearbook - it presents a visual synthesis of the key trends and factors shaping the global food and agricultural landscape and their interplay with broader environmental, social and economic dimensions. The pocketbook serves as a rapid and highly accessible reference point for policy-makers, donor agencies, researchers and analysts as well as the general public.
