THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS (FAO)



"To the millions who have to go without two meals a day the only acceptable form in which God dare appear is food."

Mahatma Gandhi

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

BACKGROUND: Hunger is still the most urgent problem confronting the greater part of humanity. Hundreds of millions of the world's inhabitants are seriously and chronically undernourished. Not only is their diet quantitatively insufficient, but it is qualitatively insufficient as well, lacking the protein essential to health and vigor. In 2002 it was estimated that approximately 800 million people did not have enough to eat.
