The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.

The partnership between Indonesia and FAO began with the country’s membership of the Organization in 1948 and was strengthened with the opening of a country office in 1978. Over nearly 70 years, hundreds of FAO development and emergency programmes have successfully supported the country’s food and agriculture sector, including fisheries and forestry.

Le monde s’est engagé à éliminer la pauvreté extrême et la famine d’ici à 2030 et s’engage résolument sur la voie de la durabilité. Les changements climatiques risquent d’anéantir les progrès accomplis jusqu’à présent face à la faim et à la pauvreté. Si l’on ne lutte pas contre eux, ils pourraient mettre en péril la capacité des systèmes agricoles à assurer la sécurité alimentaire à l’échelon mondial. Les changements climatiques mettent en danger les moyens de subsistance et la sécurité alimentaire des pauvres qui vivent en milieu rural.
