What is International Year of Natural Fibres?
The [[United Nations General Assembly]] declared 2009 as the '''International Year of Natural Fibres'''. The proposal for this international year came from the [[Food and Agriculture Organization]] (FAO) at a joint meeting of the Intergovernmental Group on Hard Fibres and the Intergovernmental Group on Jute in 2004. It was endorsed by the FAO Conference in 2005. [[Category:Fibers]] [[Category:United Nations]] [[Category:2009]] {{stub}}
