Food & Agriculture
Organization
"The Food and Agriculture Organization
of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat
hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO
acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to
negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source
of knowledge and information. We help developing countries
and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture,
forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition
for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special
attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of
the world's poor and hungry people. FAO's activities comprise
four main areas:
- Putting information within reach.
- Sharing policy expertise.
- Providing a meeting place for nations.
- Bringing knowledge to the field. "
