Foreword

In putting this latest review of the State of Food and Agriculture before our Member Governments and the general public, I feel it my duty to recall once more the unanimous reso-JLlution of FAO Member Governments, adopted at the Sixth Session of the Conference, to try by every means for “a well-balanced increase of one or two percent per annum in world production of basic food and other essential agricultural products in excess of the rate of population growth”.

Sustainable Development Goals:

No Poverty

Responsible Consumption and Production

Decent Work and Economic Growth
