FAO/F. B r a n q u i n h o5 INTRODUCTIONThe mission of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the largest specialized agency of the United Nations, is to secure a world free from hunger and malnutrition, to reduce rural poverty and to ensure that everyone has the means to produce or buy enough food to live a healthy and active life food security for all.

2 Achieving Zero Hunger is a tremendous challenge. Not only does it mean feeding a population projected to increase from 7 to billion people by 2050, while adapting to climate change. It also means ensuring that our oceans, land, forests and natural diversity of plants and animals are conserved for future generations; and understanding the critical relationship between peace, conflict and food security. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), an integrated set of development goals agreed by the United Nations in 2015, provide the roadmap for FAO to carry out this work. FAO plays an important and unique role as a neutral forum, providing unbiased, high-quality information across all areas relating to food, agriculture and sustainable natural resources management, based on its extensive knowledge and experience.

3 With over 500 new publications a year, the Organization provides robust technical knowledge and global statistics. By broadly disseminating timely, accurate and compelling information, FAO s publishing programme aims to inform the work of practitioners, researchers and policy-makers, at the same time as it raises the awareness and understanding of the wider public. Its most important publications are produced in the six official languages of the United Nations (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish).MAJORGLOBALREPORTSFAO S FLAGSHIP publications PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE REVIEWS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSES COVERING THE GLOBAL SITUATION OF AGRICULTURE, HUNGER, NATURAL RESOURCES AND RELATED GLOBAL REPORTSTHE STATE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2016 CLIMATE CHANGE, AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITYCHAPTER 1 HUNGER, POVERTY AND CLIMATE CHANGE: THE CHALLENGES TODAY AND TOMORROWARBA GERAMSO, KENYAM other and daughter prepare maize for dinner in an area where most pastoralists have lost almost 90 percent of their animals to drought.
