About the event:

Three years into the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, countries are progressively mainstreaming the SDGs into their national strategies, setting up monitoring systems, and rolling out policies.

More sustainable, inclusive, and resilient food and agriculture systems are central to this process. How can policymakers turn that potential into reality? How can they select and prioritise resources to accelerate progress?

FAO is working closely with its counterparts in countries to support their engagement in the SDG process. This includes raising awareness within the agriculture sectors and supporting their active participation in the national dialogue on SDGs. To guide these efforts, FAO has developed guidelines describing how to engage in the SDG process and identifying 20 interconnected actions to transform food and agriculture, each describing approaches, policies and tools that contribute to multiple SDGs.

Objectives:

• Introduce the newly released publication “Transforming food and agriculture to achieve the SDGs: 20 actions;”
• Discuss progress made by countries in implementing the SDGs and their ambitions in achieving them;
• Explore ways to accelerate SDG implementation in countries and FAO’s contribution to the process.
