Mr José Graziano da Silva new FAO Director-General

Mr José Graziano da Silva has formally taken the helm of the Food and Agriculture Organization, assuming the post of Director-General of the hunger-fighting UN agency. The new Director-General is pushing for a renewed focus on food security, offering to scale up FAO support available to low-income and food deficit countries - especially those facing protracted crises. "We will create teams that draw together the Organization's skills in policy advice, investment planning, resource mobilization, emergency response and sustainable development," the Director-General said. "Hunger eradication should not be separated from responses to other global challenges, such as reviving national economies, protecting natural resources from degradation, and mitigating and adapting to climate change," he added.
