Knowledge sharing and normative work

As a global leader in food and agriculture, FAO engages with private sector partners, governments and smallholder farmers to strengthen knowledge sharing, normative work and global standard-setting for sustainable agrifood systems. FAO’s normative and technical work benefits from private sector data, technology, research and market intelligence, which contribute to evidence-based policymaking, responsible business practices and improved food safety and sustainability standards. As a trusted knowledge broker and convener, FAO mobilizes public and private networks to support the exchange of data, information and best practices, while fostering inclusive dialogue on agriculture, food security, nutrition and natural resource management. These collaborations help strengthen regulatory frameworks and reinforce inclusive, resilient and sustainable value chains worldwide.
