• FAO: The Food and Agriculture Organization is a UN agency with a major knowledge dissemination mandate on agriculture, food security, and rural development globally. While much larger, FAO's publications, country profiles, and policy briefs overlap with Inter-réseaux's content areas, positioning it as a broad incumbent.
