Анотация: One of the major mandates of FAO is to assist member states to make their input supply and food production chains more effective and efficient and at the same time provide farmers with improved livelihoods. The goal is clear: to increase sustainable food production. The effective and sustainable use of increased levels of mechanization is one of the most important means of achieving this. But what is required to best achieve this? This document outlines why and how a strategy on mechanization can make a major contribution to the achievement of the goal of increasing levels of agricultural production and improving the livelihoods of farmers. These guidelines on the development and formulation of a sustainable agricultural echanisation strategy form part of FAO's approach on sustainable production intensification.
