Synopsis (short abstract) FAO’s Conference Resolution 7/2019 – Further integration of sustainable agricultural approaches, including agroecology, in the future planning activities of FAO – was adopted by the 41st Session of the FAO Conference in June 2019.Through the resolution, the FAO Conference expressed concern over biodiversity loss, climate change and land degradation. It reaffirmed the pivotal significance of agriculture in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals. It also requested that FAO integrate sustainable agricultural approaches, including agroecology, into the future planning of its activities.This evaluation responds to the requests of the FAO Programme Committee to assess the implementation of the resolution (129th Session) and to regularly report on its progress (130th Session). The FAO Office of Evaluation will present this evaluation at the Programme Committee’s 140th Session.

Food systems and agriculture are at a crossroads and a profound transformation is needed at all scales, not only to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2) to “end hunger and all forms of malnutrition” by 2030 but also to address Agenda 2030 in its entirety, including human and environmental health, climate change, equity and social stability. Current trends, such as the new increase, since 2014, in the number of undernourished people and the alarming rate of all forms of malnutrition in all countries, and related tensions will be exacerbated if we fail to design and implement, in a very near future, food systems that ensure food security and nutrition while addressing all sustainability challenges. Agroecological and other innovative approaches in agriculture are increasingly praised for their potential contribution to reach these crucial goals. This report adopts a dynamic perspective, centred on the key concepts of transition and transformation. Ultimately, this rich and comprehensive report aims to fuel an exciting policy convergence process and help remove the lock-ins by developing a common understanding of these matters, so that concrete transition pathways can be implemented at all relevant scales, from farm, community and landscape to national, regional and global levels.
