The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger and improve nutrition. Established in 1945, its primary goal is to ensure food security for all people by promoting sustainable agricultural practices and improving food production systems worldwide. FAO works with countries to develop policies and programs that enhance agricultural productivity and resilience. It provides technical assistance, data collection, and research to support efforts in areas such as fisheries, forestry, and rural development. By fostering collaboration among nations, FAO aims to create a world free from hunger and malnutrition.
