Sustainable Agrifood Systems for Better Environment
Tasked with feeding a global population of over 8 billion and supporting the livelihoods of millions across the globe, global agrifood systems don’t just provide food and support livelihoods - they also hold the key to our planet’s future. However, the way we produce food today has significant negative impacts on the environment.
Since 2006, FAO has been partnering with the Global Environment Facility (GEF) to support countries worldwide in addressing the complex challenges at the nexus between the agrifood systems and the environment.
