Knowledge Forum
 

New initiative 

Bioversity International, the CGIAR ICT-KM program, FAO, IFAD and WFP are jointly organizing a 3-day event entitled Knowledge Share Fair for Agricultural Development and Food Security to be held at FAO Headquarters on 20 – 22 January 2009.

Knowledge exchange and dialogue to help build a world without hunger

The Knowledge Forum provides a direct gateway to the Organization's vast expertise and wealth of knowledge through a series of interactive services. It is also an opportunity to learn from and give a voice to the agricultural community regarding a wide range of issues affecting Food Security and Agricultural Production today. Through the Knowledge Forum, FAO uses knowledge exchange and dialogue to help build a world without hunger.

Ask FAO responds to the critical role that direct dialogue plays in fighting hunger. Users can interact directly with technical experts in particular fields of interest, and obtain answers to their questions.

Best Practices provides a series of summaries that introduce some best practices in FAO's areas of expertise. It also provides links to further resources with supporting technical information.

FAO's Thematic knowledge networks are virtual communities of professional staff and collaborating centres with common interests and objectives related to sustainable agriculture and food security built around twelve priority areas.
