The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations 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. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.

VGGT: OECD-FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains

Manuals & Guidelines
Janvier, 2018
Global

Enterprises involved in agricultural supply chains can create employment, raise labour standards and bring the technology to increase agricultural production or reduce pollution. But their activities can also contribute to food insecurity by leading to the eviction of local communities from their lands. Child labour and abuses of migrant workers and women are regularly reported. The production of some agricultural commodities leads to soil degradation, water resource depletion and deforestation.

Namibia

FAO and Namibia have had an established partnership for more than 25 years. The most important objectives of the FAO

in Namibia are to help eliminate hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition; to make agriculture, forestry and fisheries more

productive and sustainable; and to reduce rural poverty. In Namibia, FAO supports the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry

in the development of programmes that will lead to sustainable food security, nutrition and the eradication of poverty.
