GOODWILL AMBASSADORS

FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATION

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat hunger. The FAO Ambassadors Programme was initiated in 1999. The main purpose of the programme is to attract public and media attention to the unacceptable situation that almost 800 million people continue to suffer from chronic hunger and malnutrition in a time of unprecedented plenty.
