Better Production, Better Nutrition, a Better Environment and a Better Life, leaving no one behind
Join us to explore the world of foods
Food connects us all. It shapes our daily lives, cultures, and health. Yet we rarely pause to consider the journey it takes to reach us.
These fascinating journeys are the stories of From Seeds to Foods. The exhibition, with free entry to the public, will serve as a platform for hundreds of exhibitors from around the world to take visitors on an informative and entertaining journey of discovery along the value chains of crops, horticulture, livestock, forestry and fisheries.
Join us to learn about the rich traditions and groundbreaking technologies that shape how we grow, share and enjoy food – and taste some delicious foods from around the world yourself.
Celebrating 80 years of FAO
The worlds of food and agriculture have changed considerably since 1945. As well as showcasing the progress made, the exhibition will look to the future of foods with a keen eye on how technological innovations will continue to transform global agrifood systems.

Discover the exhibition
Understanding the journeys of a diverse world of foods
Each meal is a journey from farm to table, from seeds to foods.
Each meal is the result of the efforts of people and the investment of resources, from farm to table, from seeds to foods. This exhibition offers a closer look at this journey behind our nourishment, which often remains invisible.
Food is culture, identity and connection
Every plate tells a story. Food reflects the shared set of beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that characterize a group or society. Food connects people across generations and geographies. Behind every seed and every food lies places, knowledge, and choices that shape what we eat and reflect how we relate to the world around us.

People are at the heart of agrifood systems
Agrifood systems are driven by people — farmers, fishers, foresters, herders, scientists, innovators and communities. From Seeds to Foods will tell their stories and share their knowledge.
Food security and nutrition for all are achieveable
Ensuring that everyone has regular access to sufficient, safe, nutritious and affordable food is achievable, but the outcome depends on how agrifood systems function. From Seeds to Foods will showcase examples from across the globe where FAO, Members and partners work together to achieve food security and nutrition.
Innovation is key in agrifood systems transformation
Innovation – in technologies, practices, knowledge, policies and institutions – is essential to transforming agrifood systems. From Seeds to Foods will showcase how innovation enables more efficient use of resources, strengthens resilience, improves yields and farmers’ livelihoods.
FAO is a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger and malnutrition
With 193 Member Nations, one Member Organization (the European Union) and two Associate Members, FAO works in more than 130 countries. Its mandate to achieve global food security and nutrition for all is more relevant than ever – as we strive to be the generation that permanently abolishes hunger and malnutrition.
