The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is the specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts towards the eradication of hunger. Our goal is to achieve food security for all and to ensure regular and sufficient access to good quality food so that everyone can lead a healthy and active life. With 195 members - 194 countries and the European Union, FAO is active in 130 countries around the world. We believe that we all have a role to play in ending hunger.
