Dr.

​The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has entered a new era with a new look, a new structure, and dynamism

This is exactly what the upcoming UN Food Systems Summit is about, and a vision that FAO hopes to achieve with its partners through its Strategic Framework 2022-31

The UN Food Systems Summit will open in New York on September 23

This summit comes at the right time

FAO is the leading international organization in this area and has consistently advocated and supported the transformation of agri-food systems

FAO's mandate is broad, covering everything from policy and feasibility studies, scientific innovation, land and water resources, livestock and fisheries, to biodiversity and climate, food security and normative work, geospatial data and digital technologies

The United Nations Food Systems Summit Preparatory Meeting was held at FAO headquarters in Rome in July this year and was a complete success

In July this year, the preparatory meeting for the UN Food System Summit was held at the FAO headquarters.

The transformation of global agri-food systems will ultimately depend on action at the national and local levels, of which culture is an important dimension

How can we drive transformation? FAO has identified four cross-cutting/cross-sectoral accelerators, namely: technology, innovation, data and 'complementary factors' (governance, human capital and institutions)

We have implemented a modular reform of the organizational structure to become more lean and to live up to our mission

Countries, all walks of life and all walks of life choose the path of transformation on their own

FAO has both expertise and a network of partners and powerful tools at its disposal

FAO is fully grounded, well-positioned and ready to take full responsibility for implementing the outcomes of the Summit, working with stakeholders and partners to drive positive impact

Agri-food systems are complex and diverse
