The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations was the first of the permanent United Nations organizations to be launched after the war. At the United Nations Conference on Food and Agriculture, in May 1943 at Hot Springs, Virginia, 44 nations agreed to work together to banish hunger and establish a stable world agriculture. On its recommendation, the United Nations Interim Commission on Food and Agriculture was set up in July 1943 to plan a permanent organization concerned with food and agriculture, and forestry and fisheries as well. The Commission prepared a Constitution for FAO2 and submitted it to Governments.
