About this collection

This collection consists of documents published by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. The majority (as of January 2001) of the English, French and Spanish documents from their Corporate Document Repository are indexed here for searching.

The Food and Agriculture Organization was founded in October 1945 with a mandate to raise levels of nutrition and standards of living, to improve agricultural productivity, and to better the condition of rural populations. Today, FAO is the largest autonomous agency within the United Nations system.

The FAO Corporate Document Repository houses FAO documents and publications, as well as selected non-FAO publications, in electronic format. It enables users to easily access the accumulated knowledge and information produced by FAO directly on the Internet.
