INTRODUCTION
Only with knowledge can we free the world from hunger,

malnutrition and poverty. According to the Basic Texts of the
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO),
the Organization’s first function is to “collect, analyse, interpret and
disseminate information relating to nutrition, food and agriculture”.
FAO plays a unique role as a neutral forum, providing unbiased,

high-quality information across all areas relating to food, agriculture
and sustainable natural resources management. Its more than
700 publications a year range from authoritative analysis for
policy-makers and expert guidance for farmers to nutritional advice
for families and general knowledge for young people.
In addition to English, most major reports are also produced in

Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish.
This catalogue includes a selection of the Organization’s most

recent titles, as well as some older publications that have become
references in their respective fields. The Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs), agreed by the United Nations and the international
community in 2015, provide the roadmap guiding all of FAO’s work.
