The TERM PORTAL has been created to store, manage and update concepts, terms and definitions related to the various fields of FAO’s activity. The idea is to offer a single search window for all glossaries, in one or several languages, as a mechanism to enhance the exchange of information and facilitate communication.
Tips for an efficient search:
- Drop endings, apostrophes, prepositions, articles, hyphens, slashes, commas and other punctuation marks.
- Try both British and American spelling (e.g. search for “organization” and “organisation”).
- Use the singular form (e.g. search for “chickpea” instead of “chickpeas”), or use the form without ending (e.g. search for “propert” instead of “property” or “properties”).
- Separate the words, if doubtful (e.g. search for "water mark" instead of "watermark" or "water-mark").
