Which United Nations agency focusing on food and agriculture conducts global work and is headquartered in Rome?

• A. World Health Organization
• B. International Labour Organization
• C. Food and Agriculture Organization
• D. World Trade Organization

Answer: (C)

The key idea is recognizing the UN agency that specializes in food and agriculture and is based in Rome. The Food and Agriculture Organization is exactly that: the UN’s specialized agency focused on food, nutrition, and agricultural development, with its headquarters in Rome. It conducts global programs on farming, fisheries, forestry, and rural development, providing policy guidance, technical assistance, and data to improve food security worldwide. Other agencies listed focus on different areas—health, labor, or trade—and are based in Geneva—so they don’t match both the focus and the Rome headquarters.
