Explore. Learn. Act.
Art and culture are universal languages that bring people together and inspire conversations. FAO MuNe harnesses this power to communicate the mandate of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and raise awareness about how each of us can learn to take action for food security. Through this shared language, visitors explore diverse food and agriculture traditions, discover innovations rooted both in heritage and in science and technology, and join a global dialogue that connects the past, present, and future of agrifood systems.
Guided by FAO’s commitment to Better Production, Better Nutrition, a Better Environment, and a Better Life, get ready to explore, learn, and take action.
This special initiative is supported by Italy’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and stands as a legacy of FAO’s 80 years of dedication to sustainable food and agriculture worldwide and reflects Rome’s role as FAO’s host city and partner in this shared commitment.
