A specific priority of the Organisation is encouraging sustainable agriculture and rural development, a long-term strategy for increasing food production and food security while conserving and managing natural resources. The aim is to meet the needs of both present and future generations by promoting development that does not degrade the environment and is technically appropriate, economically viable and socially acceptable.
In addition to the five UN organisations mentioned above, it is worth noting two more UN organisations involved in the water sector: the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (Habitat) and the World Health Organisation (WHO).
