Geography MA students meet Director General, Qu Dongyu, of the Food and Agriculture Organization

Although early, on Saturday morning, some Geography MA students with an interest in International Development and Global Food Security met the Director General, Qu Dongyu, of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) (one of the UN specialised agencies)  when he came to visit on 8 June. Glory Omomase who is doing her research project with Misean Cara asked an interesting question about gender, as did Phu Pham who asked about skills need to work with FAO. FAO signed a letter of intent with the University of Galway. FAO works in over 130 countries worldwide with the aim of achieving food security for all. Dr Murray from Geography began her international career at FAO in the 1990s and still regularly works with FAO.
