Transforming food and agriculture for sustainable development

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development calls for a bold, transformational change to achieve a world that is more inclusive, fair, sustainable and resilient. It’s a world free of hunger and extreme poverty, one that protects the sustainable use of biodiversity, natural resources and ecosystem services for development.

This corporate portal is a gateway to FAO’s policy and governance support work to build sustainable food systems that can help countries achieve the vision of the 2030 Agenda. FAO, itself the world’s leading forum for policy dialogue, promotes evidence-based policymaking from national to regional and global levels as countries prioritize challenges, implement decisions and monitor their effectiveness.

POLICY & GOVERNANCE 

Policy and governance are closely interrelated: they are both concerned with addressing problems that are important to large numbers of people.
