FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia

Global launch of the Regional Technical Platform on Green Agriculture

Hybrid Event, 12/05/2022

In Europe and Central Asia, as well as globally, FAO is aiming to strengthen its role in promoting green agriculture, which includes the proper management of natural resources, biodiversity and ecosystem services with high recycling rates and low external inputs for building sustainable and resilient agroecosystems capable of     tackling current and future challenges.

To support this goal, FAO will launch the Regional Technical Platform on Green Agriculture on 12 May at 13:30-15:00 (CEST) in a hybrid modality. The launch will take place on the sidelines of the Thirty-third Session of the Regional Conference for Europe. The platform will help share good practices – from regional and country levels – at both intra- and inter-regional level, in partnership with international, national, and local development partners.

The Regional Technical Platform on Green Agriculture aims at contributing to more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems, in line with the FAO Strategic Framework and its four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life – while leaving no one behind.
