The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) today officially launched operations at its Partnership and Liaison Office in the Republic of Korea in a move that will accelerate knowledge sharing, innovation and agricultural transformation to improve diets and livelihoods across Asia and the world.
FAO’s Partnership and Liaison Office, located in Seoul’s Jongro District, will act as an important platform, whereby professional staff of the Republic of Korea can connect with officials in developing countries in order to assist with the exchange of knowledge and expertise that will drive both the region and the world forward to meet improvements in livelihoods and nutritional impacts. This will help accelerate advancements in sustainable food and agriculture, forestry, fisheries and rural development in order to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
