Private Sector

Partner with FAO to advance more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems. Together, we can drive innovation, mobilize investment and deliver lasting impact. 

Why partner with FAO 

FAO is a global leader in food and agriculture, a knowledge broker for governments, and a provider of the global norms and standards that shape agrifood systems. We offer guidance on sustainable business practices, advocate for innovation and digitalization, and provide international instruments that the private sector can leverage to sustainably improve its activities across agrifood value chains.

We are also a neutral convener that supports alignment with your core business priorities: strengthening food value chains, enabling innovation, and helping shape the policy and regulatory environments in which you operate, bringing governments and private sector entities together around shared priorities and investments, and mobilizing public and private networks to reinforce data, information, and knowledge for impact at scale.
