FAO Annual Report on Private Sector Engagement, 2022
Two years into FAO’s Strategy for Private Sector Engagement 2021–2025, this report charts the Organization’s proactive approach to private sector engagement in a world increasingly disrupted by conflict, the climate crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. It outlines the actions that FAO is taking to accelerate agrifood system transformation and improve food security and nutrition, and details how developing and promoting digital data collection tools allows FAO to take a more strategic approach in targeting new engagements in the year to come.
