The FAO Goodwill Ambassador Programme, established in 1999, has, over 25 years, relied on the crucial contributions of distinguished individuals from diverse backgrounds, including entertainment and sports. Goodwill Ambassadors have used their platforms to raise awareness and mobilize resources for various agrifood issues. Their involvement has heightened public interest in the FAO mandate and fostered tangible progress in the sector worldwide.
Former FAO Goodwill Ambassadors have demonstrated the profound impact individuals can have when they harness their influence for the greater good. They have left lasting legacies through their passionate advocacy work; their contributions have significantly enhanced FAO's visibility and galvanized global action towards addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
To ALL* our former Goodwill Ambassadors, FAO says THANK YOU!
