Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Introduction to Food and Agriculture Organization
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), specialized United Nations agency whose main goal is to eliminate hunger on a world scale. The organization’s mandate is to “raise levels of nutrition, improve agricultural productivity, better the lives of rural populations and contribute to the growth of the world economy.”
The FAO originated at a conference called by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Hot Springs, Virginia, in May 1943. The 34 nations represented established the UN Interim Commission on Food and Agriculture. In October 1945 the first session of the FAO was held in Québec City, Canada.” (1)
