When we hear about new websites it always gets our attention. Today, the FAO announced not just one, but 2 new websites.

A new web-based FAO information service launched today, “Ask FAO,” lets users pose questions directly to experts in the Organization and also includes a searchable “knowledge base” of answers to frequently asked questions covering issues as varied as how to ask FAO for technical assistance to controlling bird flu to finding out national rates of deforestation.

Similarly, FAO’s new “Best Practices“ website, also launched today, serves as a one-stop source of technical information on recommended practices and techniques in food production, rural development, natural resource management and other areas.
