Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO)

The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations focused on leading international efforts to defeat hunger. FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations, both developed and developing, meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy.

Location

FAO is headquartered in Rome, Italy, but it operates on a global scale through various regional offices and initiatives.

Important Events

Recently, FAO organized a state-level workshop in Gandhinagar, India, to address the challenges of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) as part of the EU Tripartite AMR Project 'Working Together to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance'. This event focused on the rising milk production in Gujarat and the associated issues with AMR.

Company Plans

FAO plans to continue its efforts in combating AMR through international collaboration and workshops. These efforts aim to enhance sustainable agricultural practices and improve food safety in the dairy sector. Dr. Thanawat Tiensin, Assistant Director General of FAO, has emphasized the critical role of dairy in promoting sustainable global nutrition.
