Description
FAO, short for the Food and Agriculture Organization, is an agency of the United Nations dedicated to eradicating hunger, improving nutrition, promoting sustainable agriculture, and ensuring food security worldwide. Established in 1945, FAO works with governments, organizations, and communities to develop policies, share knowledge, and provide technical assistance to address food-related challenges and achieve sustainable development goals.
World Food Day, observed globally on October 16, marks the establishment of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945. It is recognized by various organizations dedicated to addressing hunger and food security, such as the World Food Programme, the World Health Organization, and the International Fund for Agricultural Development. The World Food Programme was awarded the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize for its endeavors in fighting hunger, promoting peace in conflict zones, and combatting the weaponization of hunger during warfare.
