Awareness-raising and dialogue on responsible investment

Knowledge at the individual and organizational level is important to increase the volume and quality of investment. FAO facilitates capacity development activities and multi-actor dialogues on responsible investment in agriculture and food systems. These activities help different actors to apply international guidance instruments in practice and encourage mutually beneficial investment.
