Synopsis (short abstract) The International Year of Fruits and Vegetables (IYFV) 2021 Global Action Plan was elaborated and agreed upon by the IYFV International Steering Committee. The activities contained in this plan have been developed along the four main lines of action for this year: 1. Advocacy and Awareness Raising; 2. Knowledge Creation and Dissemination; 3. Policy Making; and 4. Capacity Development and Education. The Annex includes a list of additional activities developed and agreed by the IYFV International Steering Committee in line with the Lines of Action for the Year, but which were not included in the Global Action Plan for reasons including lack of funding and actions suggested for implementation at national and local level. However, this list could serve as a resource for potential partners who are interested in contributing to the Year.

In this way, the IYFV is a unique opportunity to raise awareness on the important role of fruits and vegetables in human nutrition, food security and health and as well in achieving the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These guidelines were designed to support all stakeholders that want to take part in activities and events related to the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables (IYFV).
