Monday's agriculture website of interest: FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS

Share |
Today's agriculture website of interest is the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, also known as the FAO. The FAO leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, it acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. The FAO also helps developing countries modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since its founding in 1945, the FAO has focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.
