1. Food and agriculture organization of the United Nations (FAO)

2. Our mission Achieving food security for all is at the heart of FAO's efforts – to make sure people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives. Our three main goals are: the eradication of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition; the elimination of poverty and the driving forward of economic and social progress for all; and, the sustainable management and utilization of natural resources, including land, water, air, climate and genetic resources for the benefit of present and future generations.

3. FAO's activities comprise five main areas Putting information within reach and supporting the transition to sustainable agriculture Strengthening political will and sharing policy expertise Bolstering public-private collaboration to improve smallholder agriculture Bringing knowledge to the field. Supporting countries prevent and mitigate risks

4. FAO creates and shares critical information about food, agriculture and natural resources in the form of global public goods. But this is not a one-way flow. We play a connector role, through identifying and working with different partners with established expertise, and facilitating a dialogue between those who have the knowledge and those who need it. By turning knowledge into action, FAO links the field to national, regional and global initiatives in a mutually reinforcing cycle. By joining forces, we facilitate partnerships for food and nutrition security, agriculture and rural development between governments, development partners, civil society and the private sector.

5. How is FAO funded? The total FAO Budget planned for 2014-15 is USD 2.4 billion. Of this amount, 41 percent comes from assessed contributions paid by member countries, while 59 percent will be mobilized through voluntary contributions from Members and other partners.
