FAO to Eradicate Hunger Globally

The new director general of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), José Graziano da Silva, has indicated that Africa will be his priority at a time of limited resources.

Graziano da Silva, who played an important role in Brazil's successful ‘zero hunger’ initiative, argued the key to improving food security in Africa is the political will to eradicate hunger, which could in turn be translated into action through financial resources, research and good practice.

Graziano da Silva stated that many of the poor countries in Africa have no facility of going to the donors, adding that, “The FAO will be there to support those countries to achieve the desired results."
