Rome –  The 174^th Session of the Council of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) opened Monday with FAO Director-General QU Dongyu emphasizing that the Organization is well placed to drive much-needed progress on the main challenges facing the world today.

“FAO works for the vulnerable people,” the Director-General said in his opening remarks, adding that the Organization “has a comparative advantage” in areas ranging from its core mandates, such as food and nutrition security and catalyzing agricultural productivity, to increasingly complex ones, such as fostering environmental sustainability, mitigating and adapting to climate change and building resilience among vulnerable people rocked by conflicts.
