Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
2024
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that seeks to eliminate hunger worldwide. The mission of the organization is to ensure that people have access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives. The FAO hosts conferences with 194 member states, works in 130 countries on a variety of agricultural and environmental projects, and has offices worldwide to support international governments.
FAO produces a flagship report, State of Food and Agriculture, among many other reports related to food and environmental issues. The organization also produces country profiles, which act as a repository for information and publications related to that specific country. In addition to these publications, FAO also hosts a data portal, FAOSTAT, where users can download FAO’s data en masse, examine specific data for the State of Food and Agriculture report, and look at focused data highlighting specific indicators. FAO also provides a data repository to examine data from other sources and a news portal.
