Also, being completely fluent (speaking/reading/writing/understanding) at _least_ one other language is critical for work at the UN, and is a monster plus at the Red Cross. Think Mandarin, Arabic, French, or one or more indigenous African languages (Xhosa, Swahili).<br><b>References : </b><br> An MPA, MPH, or other graduate degree (like biology, botany, or chemistry) will be a big help, depending on whether you want to do policy or actual food development.

So does your experience. You'll work your way up through that or other organizations until you develop significant expertise and worldwide background. What do you want to do with world food programs? Help advise farmers on increasing yields? Find ways to get water for crops? Agriculture degrees can be useful, as well as farming experience. Distribution? Business degrees, organizational management, logistics - lots of possibilities depending on your focus. With Red Cross, start as a volunteer.<br><b>References : </b><br> Your degrees matter.
