José Graziano da Silva has over 30 years of academic, professional, and political experience in food security and rural development. He served as Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) from 2012 to 2019, after having conceived and led Brazil’s Zero Hunger program, initially as coordinator in 2001 and later as Extraordinary Minister of Food Security and Fight against Hunger in President Lula’s government starting in 2003. This effort culminated in 2014, when Brazil was removed from FAO’s Hunger Map, being recognized as the first developing country to achieve this milestone.
