Policy

Content can be considered the most critical element of any Web site and includes text, images, figures, audio, video, databases and other elements. Content is the best tool for building trust with users and many studies indicate that content is more important than navigation, visual design, functionality or interactivity.

Content on FAO Web pages must be accurate, up-to-date and technically reliable. It should be consistent with data being published by FAO through other channels, such as databases and publications.

Content should also comply with the criteria listed in the FAO Web Quality Assurance Checklist.
