Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have diverse geography, climate, culture and stage of economic development. However, these countries still share common characteristics which highlight their vulnerability to sustainable development and climate change. FAO enjoys a long history of partnership with SIDS, providing policy advice, analysis and technical assistance through its unique pool of experts in agriculture, livestock, fisheries, forestry, natural resources management and food security, in its commitment to support resilient livelihoods and enhance food security.  Currently, FAO is implementing more than 250 projects to enhance food security in SIDS. Visit the website to find out more.<http://www.fao.org/sids/en/> <http://www.fao.org/sids/en/>
