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.
