About Food and Agriculture Organisation of United Nation

## About the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is a specialized UN agency dedicated to achieving food security, improving nutrition, reducing poverty, and promoting sustainable agricultural development worldwide. In Papua New Guinea, FAO has supported national development efforts since 1975 and established its country office in 2013 to strengthen collaboration with government agencies, development partners, and local communities. FAO works across key sectors including agriculture, fisheries, forestry, livestock, climate resilience, and rural development. The organization supports initiatives that enhance food production, improve livelihoods, strengthen natural resource management, and build resilience to climate change and environmental challenges. In Papua New Guinea, FAO collaborates with stakeholders to promote sustainable farming practices, improve the productivity of crops such as cocoa and vanilla, strengthen livestock production systems, support responsible fisheries management, and advance forest conservation efforts. Through its Country Programming Framework and technical expertise, FAO assists in developing policies and programs that contribute to national food security, economic growth, and sustainable development. Committed to creating a world free from hunger, FAO continues to empower communities, strengthen agricultural systems, and support the long-term wellbeing of people throughout Papua New Guinea.
