On the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty 2017, FAO joins the world in recognizing the importance of ending poverty in all its forms everywhere to build a future free of hunger, based on peace and prosperity. A focus on food, agriculture and rural livelihoods must play a pivotal role in achieving a peaceful and prosperous future free from poverty and hunger. That is FAO’s main message on 17 October 2017, International Day for the Eradication of Poverty 2017, when around 767 million people are still suffering from extreme poverty. Ending extreme poverty by 2030 is the first and foremost goal of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a commitment countries made to global citizens two years ago. 17 Oct, 2017
