Celebrating the International Day of Education
22/01/2021
Education offers a means for people to fulfil their own potential and help build a better future for all. FAO is committed to sharing knowledge and building capacity in the areas of food and agriculture to support sustainable development and inspire behavioural change.
On the occasion of the International Day of Education (24 January), we invite you to discover and share a selection of FAO’s publications designed to engage and inform young people on important global issues underlying the Organization’s work.

Shedding light on a variety of global topics, this series seeks to engage young people, their families and educators in FAO’s work and the global effort to eliminate hunger. The latest titles include:
