Resource information
FAO’s programme in India is primarily guided by GOI priorities and further shaped by FAO’s corporate priorities that play a catalytic role in supporting India to: (i) reduce rural poverty; (ii) promote inclusive and efficient agricultural and food systems; (iii) eradicate hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition; (iv) provide goods and services from agriculture, forestry, and fisheries in a sustainable manner; (v) increase resilience; and (vi) provision of global goods. In doing so, FAO will also address cross-cutting issues such as gender and climate change. These priorities are further consolidated by the five priorities of the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific: (a) strengthen food and nutritional security, (b) foster agricultural production and rural development, (c) enhance equitable, productive and sustainable natural resource management and utilization, (d) improve capacity to respond to food and agricultural threats and emergencies, and (e) coping with the impact of climate change on food and agriculture.
