Continuous improvement of Georgia’s agriculture, agrifood systems, rural livelihoods, export opportunities, and food safety – responding to climate change, land degradation, biodiversity, and other environmental issues – are among the priorities set out in a new agreement of FAO and Georgia signed here today.

Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture Otar Shamugia, together with Raimund Jehle, FAO Representative in Georgia, signed the FAO Country Programming Framework, shaping the development of Georgia’s agrifood systems for the period 2021–2025 and its significant contribution to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within FAO’s new Strategic Framework 2022–2031.
