International Organizations

Intergovernmental Organizations

Intergovernmental organizations, or international organizations, aren't technically "government," but are usually composed of sovereign states, though they may also include representation from non-profit organizations or corporations.

The most prominent organization, when it comes to agriculture, is the FAO - the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations. We've singled out a few of the FAO's key resources, as well as links to other organizations.

FAO (Food and Argicultural Organization of the United Nations)

OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)

I assist researchers with their general informational needs as well as those more specifically geared toward government documents, data, and maps/GIS. I also work with the research data management (RDM) working group to provide RDM services at UNB.
