Setting the basis for developing an integrated whole-of-government National Food Security Strategy in North Macedonia will be the focus of a new FAO project.

The project was launched today through an event in Skopje, organized by FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy in partnership with the Rural Development Network of North Macedonia.

In his opening remarks, Ljupco Nikolovski, North Macedonia’s Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy, noted that “at this time of global change, it is essential to ensure access to a safe, stable, affordable, and nutritious supply of food for everyone in North Macedonia” and “the Ministry of Agriculture is committed to support the whole process of National Food Security Strategy development, working with FAO, the Rural Development Network, the relevant government institutions, and other partners to reach this goal.”
