About us
"The challenge of food security can only be resolved through a global partnership involving national, international, public, private and voluntary sectors."
FAO Director-General Dr. Jacques Diouf
A thriving private sector and well-functioning markets are key factors for economic growth and sustainable development of agriculture, food, fisheries and forestry sectors.
Currently, FAO works with a range of international and national private sector partners from various sectors of the agriculture and food chain. It also actively promotes policies in member countries that foster private investment and private sector growth.
The private sector is an important ally in our fight against hunger. The much needed financing and investment to attain the UN Millennium Development Goals will have to come, for the most part, from private resources and investment.
