Direct and Indirect Contributions of FAO to the Millennium Development Goals

Develop a global partnership for development

FAO, working with its Members and the WTO, is an active partner in efforts to create an open, fair and rules-based multilateral trading system, in particular through its support for food, agricultural trade and overall trade policies conducive to food security. In advocating a central place for food security on the global agenda, it works with IFAD and WFP, other UN partners, governments, civil society and the private sector to promote the International Alliance against Hunger called for in 2002 by the World Food Summit: Five Years Later.
