Towards Zero Hunger - 1945-2030

This book shows that, acting together, we can achieve "zero hunger" by 2030. It showcases a unique collection of images documenting how the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has long been there - in the fields, in the mountains, on the oceans, in the heat and dust, in the cold and wet - helping people to survive, progress and prosper. Since 1945, FAO, the UN's first agency, has played a leading role in combating hunger worldwide. This book gives readers an authentic picture of the Organization's activities from its pioneering early years through to today, with early images in black and white later giving way to colour.
