FAO Director-General addresses food safety conference

In his keynote address at the 2021 Global Food Safety Initiative Conference, FAO Director-General QU Dongyu emphasized the urgent need for agri-food system transformation to end hunger and malnutrition and feed everyone on the planet safe and nutritious food. He highlighted several ways to move towards efficient and sustainable agri-food systems.
