Dear Participants,
Thank you for your active and fruitful contributions so far. Aligned with the FAO Science and Innovation Strategy, the guidance is intended to be a tool to facilitate reflection about advancing an SPI, its possible scope and mandate, and launch a learning process around SPIs. It could be considered at the country level in a process to strengthen existing, or establish new, agrifood system SPIs. Your valuable insights are very important for further elaborating and refining this draft.
We acknowledge that the document is substantial in scope and content, requiring additional time for a thorough review. Therefore, we are extending the deadline to ensure that you have sufficient time to provide comprehensive feedback in line with the guiding questions.
Best regards from the facilitator of the e-consultation,
Dr Preet Lidder, Technical Adviser, Chief Scientist Office, FAO
