SARD-M E-Consultation in Preparation for the Third Meeting of the Adelboden Group

Welcome to an e-consultation being organized by the FAO Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development in Mountain Regions (SARD-M) Project in collaboration with the Mountain Forum to prepare for the Third Meeting of the Adelboden Group which will be held at FAO Headquarters in Rome on 1-3 October 2007.

Your participation in the e-consultation will contribute to:

1) Conducting an initial discussion of Working Group themes of the Third Meeting of the Adelboden Group;

2) Obtaining first elements for a draft list of "Key Policy Messages" to be developed at this Meeting of the Adelboden Group.

You and a wide variety of organizations have partnered up with the SARD-M Project to implement its activities on the ground.

This e-consultation provides an important opportunity to promote the results of these activities, for you to develop key policy messages and proposals for future activities at the national, regional and global levels to be further discussed during the meeting of the Adelboden Group.
