粮农组织成立75周年:齐成长、同繁荣、共持续
75年来,粮农组织的名字、志向和精神不曾改变,而其他一切都已改变,并将进一步改变。 1945年,联合国粮食及农业组织在战后重建的理想主义中建立了,它在建立之时力求增加世界各地的农业产量,使饥荒成为历史。在随后的75年里,粮农组织的观念和工作内容中加入了新的维度,即环境和可持续性。到2020年,要获得持续的成功,我们需要做出战略调整。 2019冠状病毒病疫情加剧了与冲突和气候变化有关的脆弱性,粮农组织期待通过进一步加深研究伙伴关系、数字化和全面创新,帮助消除饥饿和营养不良。距实现可持续发展目标还有十年的时间,我们正在征途上努力前行,寻找勇敢的答案和振奋人心的解决方案。
