In 1957 it established an Atomic Energy Branch. The new forces and new tools which have become available for use in the fight against poverty, disease and malnutrition can be of the greatest assistance in FAO's work in nearly all phases of the production, storage and distribution of food and other agricultural products. The Organization promotes their use to improve the standards of feeding, clothing and housing throughout the world. Another side of work related to atomic energy is concerned with combating contamination from the use of atomic energy for power production and other purposes. This raises considerable problems for food and agriculture, so that FAO also has a responsibility for assisting Governments in safeguarding their food and food-producing resources from contamination. FAO is essentially concerned with fostering wider knowledge of the many contributions that atomic science can make to agriculture, forestry, fisheries and nutrition. It is also concerned in assisting governments to establish sound programmes for applying atomic science in food and agriculture. One way of spreading such knowledge is through the publication of documents and reports","","Available on-line: http://www.iaea.org/Publications/Magazines/Bulletin/Bull023/02305302527.pdf","","","IAEA","1960-07-15","","English","Journal Article","","3","2","Journal Name: IAEA Bulletin; Journal Volume: 2; Journal Issue: 3; Other Information: 4 photos","","Medium: X; Size: page(s) 25-27","","","","Journal ID: ISSN 0020-6067; IAEBAB; TRN: XA10K0577130757","https://doi.org/","","2011-12-12","21511978",""
