Food and Agriculture Organisation
The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy.
Location
FAO is headquartered in Rome, Italy, but operates worldwide through various regional offices and initiatives.
Important Events
Recently, FAO organized a state-level workshop in Gandhinagar, India, to tackle Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) challenges. This event was part of the EU Tripartite AMR Project 'Working Together to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance,' focusing on Gujarat's rising milk production and the associated AMR issues.
Company Plans
FAO's plans include continuing its efforts to combat AMR through international collaboration and workshops, aiming to enhance sustainable agricultural practices and food safety in the dairy sector.
