Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been awarded the prestigious Agricola Medal by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) during his visit to Italy. This esteemed recognition is the highest honor conferred by the FAO, acknowledging significant contributions to global food security and agriculture.
