Working in FAO

A lovely view from my office

Set in Rome, the term Byzantine is apt for working at FAO. Though the complication is perfectly understandable once you recognize the necessity of clarity. Its also important to ensure the quality of work coming from FAO that does not contravene with other publications.

The calibre of those working at FAO is quite astounding and everyday is an opportunity to learn from a variety of sources.The wealth of knowledge freely available to all those at FAO is amazing, Simply going to a a page like the NAPs team knowledge tank will find you a list of FAO publications about policy making that are well worth reading I highly recommend people read the FAO publication “Save and grow, A policymaker’s guide to the sustainable intensification of smallholder crop production”. It is now on my recommended reading list for anyone interested in policy making and adaptation of the agricultural sector.

On the bright side I am now addicted to coffee.

Until next time.
