Remote work within the United Nations system is no longer an exception—it is now a core operating model for many technical, advisory, and research functions. As global challenges such as food insecurity, climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainable agriculture intensify, international organizations increasingly rely on home-based consultants to deliver high-impact expertise without geographic constraints.
For 2026, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) continues to recruit home-based and remote consultants across a wide range of technical and policy areas. These consultancy opportunities offer competitive UN-aligned remuneration, flexible work arrangements, and the chance to contribute directly to global food systems, rural development, and environmental sustainability.
