FAO:
Given the close relationship between the conservation
of biodiversity and the alleviation of hunger and rural poverty,
the FAO was designated as the lead agency for UN system
coordination in Agenda 21's programme areas of plant and animal
genetic resources for food and agriculture. The FAO is currently
revising its policies and priorities and is willing to serve all
governments in the implementation of the Convention.
