Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Iran

FAO retains a comparative advantage in the provision of policy and technical assistance in a broad range of disciplines addressing the challenges being faced by the Islamic Republic of Iran in sectors pertaining to the Organization’s mandate.

In line with the realization of a “Food Secure Iran, Safeguarding Its Natural Resources” as the ultimate vision of FAO in the country, the Organization supports the country’s priorities as stipulated in the national development planning documents,  including the Sixth National Development Plan  2017-2021, and in alignment with the Organization’s Strategic Objectives and relevant Regional Initiatives.

Over the next  five years, the FAOIR team will be working with the national counterparts, taking a programmatic approach that calls for development of Integrated Strategic Programmes, in line with FAOIR’s long term mission seeking “to inspire and engage partners in promoting lasting solutions for sustainable development” as its local mission in four areas of:

i) Sustainable and Climate-smart Agriculture,
ii) Food Security and Food Safety,
iii)  Inclusive and Resilient Rural Development, and
iv) Knowledge-based Economy and Society.
