| One of the goals of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations is the reduction of food insecurity in the world. While the proper foundation of this goal lies, among others, in the increase of food production and ensuring access to food, there is also a need to monitor, on an operational basis, the current food supply and demand situation, so that timely interventions can be... more |
