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. These people lead a life of
misery and are denied the most basic of human rights: the right to food. Governments
alone cannot end hunger and undernourishment. Mobilization of the public and private
sectors, the involvement of civil society and the pooling of collective and individual
resources are all needed if people are to break out of the vicious circle of chronic
hunger and undernourishment.
Each of the FAO Ambassadors has made a personal
and professional commitment to address the universal humanitarian
issues that underpin FAO’s mission: to build a food-secure world
for present and future generations. Using their talents and influence,
the Ambassadors draw the old and the young, the rich and the poor
into the campaign against world hunger. They aim to make Food for
All a reality in the 21st century and beyond. Click
