As the one answer pointed out, the UN FAO is good.

You might also consider the US Dept. of Agriculture site at http://www.usda.gov. They also have an education and outreach section at:

Most states also have a Dept. of Agriculture site. For example, Illinois has one at: http://www.agr.state.il.us/

For more technical topics, you might want to look at the Agricultural Networking Information Center:

Two excellent librarian-run sites give a wide range of resources:

–The Internet Public Library:

–“Agriculture” results from the Librarians’ Internet Index (lii.org):

Good luck with this!
