      • Purpose: To consolidate global knowledge on agricultural technologies, innovations, and best practices, supporting informed decision-making and the adoption of sustainable solutions across agrifood systems.
      • Vision: To foster collaboration, drive innovation, and promote the scaling of effective agrifood technologies and policies that address food security, sustainability, and resilience challenges.

      2. Content and Structure

        • Best practice guidelines and toolkits
        • Multimedia resources (videos, webinars)
