The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations leading international efforts to defeat hunger.
FAO's goal is to achieve food and security for all and make sure that people have regular access to enough high-quality food and lead active, healthy lives.
FAO supports governments and partners to design the right policies and programmes to end hunger, promote food security and promote sustainable agriculture for millions of people around the world.
FAO works with governments and partners to empower some of the world's most marginalized people to end rural poverty.
Our mandate is to improve nutrition, increase agricultural productivity, raise the standard of living in rural populations and contribute to global economic growth.
