For 10 000 years, people all over the world have found different ways to domesticate wild plants and animals to protect themselves from hunger. Agriculture; it’s our common heritage.
Throughout history, the exchange of crops, livestock breeds and farming knowledge has revolutionized diets and protected people from hunger. Intercultural dialogue and exchange is vital if we are to eradicate poverty and hunger, because agriculture - the source of our food - is our common heritage.
The Information Division produces video programmes in
several languages on a broad range of subjects including
agriculture, forestry, fisheries and rural
development. All videos are available in professional
broadcast standards for television stations.
An important facet of the division's work is the
diversified assistance it provides to television networks
around the world. It offers a variety of services, from
the provision of background information for the preparation of
programmes that are relevant to FAO's work to setting up
interviews with FAO staff. At FAO headquarters in Rome, there is a video
studio complete with the latest editing and
post-production equipment that produces material for
broadcast.
