FAO Awards

FAO award winners announced

African Union Commission, World Rural Forum, Thai Ministry and National Geographic garner awards from FAO

In a groundbreaking moment at the 2015 UN Sustainable Development Summit, 193 countries pledged to end hunger by 2030. As the drive to end hunger gains greater priority on the global agenda, it is even more important to publicly acknowledge achievements and showcase positive results. The FAO Awards honour outstanding contributions to global food security by recognizing persons, institutions or countries who are working hard to achieve the global Zero Hunger goal by 2030.

FAO Awards

Individuals, institutions and organizations who have made outstanding achievements in fighting hunger all feature among winners of the FAO awards. Today they are the champions of the Zero Hunger Generation - the first generation with the capacity to end hunger and make food and nutrition security truly universal. The awards were established on the basis of resolutions during the FAO Conference, the organization’s highest governing body.
