FAO

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger. With 195 members, including 194 countries and the European Union, FAO works in over 130 countries around the world. It is committed to achieving food security for all, ensuring that people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives.

FAO supports governments and partners to design the right policies and programmes to end hunger, promote food security, and ensure sustainable agriculture practices. It plays a critical role in policymaking at the global level, mobilizes resources for food and agriculture initiatives, and addresses challenges related to climate change, nutrition, and equitable access to food. FAO also focuses on empowering marginalized populations, promoting gender equality, and developing innovative agricultural practices to enhance food systems worldwide.
