Помимо новостей, интервью и сообщений для СМИ, пресс-служба ФАО в настоящее время выпускает реальные истории из жизни фермеров, животноводов, рыбаков, коренных народов, лесных жителей и других групп, занятых в этом секторе. Эти истории о том, как глобальные вызовы влияют на их средства к существованию, и о том как их надежда, их стойкость, а также поддержка таких партнеров, как ФАО, привели к изменениям, способствующим искоренению голода и бедности. Это истории реальных героев продовольственного фронта. Это трансформация агропродовольственных систем в действии.

Помимо новостей, интервью и сообщений для СМИ, пресс-служба ФАО в настоящее время выпускает реальные истории из жизни фермеров, животноводов, рыбаков, коренных народов, лесных жителей и других групп, занятых в этом секторе. Эти истории о том, как глобальные вызовы влияют на их средства к существованию, и о том как их надежда, их стойкость, а также поддержка таких партнеров, как ФАО, привели к изменениям, способствующим искоренению голода и бедности. Это истории реальных героев продовольственного фронта. Это трансформация агропродовольственных систем в действии.

Помимо новостей, интервью и сообщений для СМИ, пресс-служба ФАО в настоящее время выпускает реальные истории из жизни фермеров, животноводов, рыбаков, коренных народов, лесных жителей и других групп, занятых в этом секторе. Эти истории о том, как глобальные вызовы влияют на их средства к существованию, и о том как их надежда, их стойкость, а также поддержка таких партнеров, как ФАО, привели к изменениям, способствующим искоренению голода и бедности. Это истории реальных героев продовольственного фронта. Это трансформация агропродовольственных систем в действии.
