Focal point
Location
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.

Le Togo et la FAO
La coopération entre le Togo et la FAO a commencé en 1960, année où le Togo est devenu membre de l’Organisation, par un inventaire des ressources en terres et en eau. Une représentation a été ouverte en 1980, à la suite de quoi le partenariat s’est concentré sur le développement agricole, la protection de l’environnement et la gestion des ressources naturelles.
