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.
