In view of the upcoming International Year of Fruits and Vegetables (IYFV) to be observed in 2021, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) organized the FAO/WHO International Workshop on Fruits and Vegetables 2020. The aim was to review global evidence surrounding the effectiveness of interventions and the policy, programmatic and scientific advances in the decades since the Joint FAO/WHO Workshop on Fruit and Vegetables for Health (Kobe, Japan, 2004). The overall goal of the FAO/WHO International Workshop on Fruits and Vegetables 2020 was to develop evidence-based, actionable recommendations for future policies, laws, regulations and programmes aiming to improve F&V consumption, production and value chains. -

BookletTechnical studyHidden costs of agrifood systems
An update to the methodology for the State of Food and Agriculture 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.The State of Food and Agriculture 2024 report by FAO refines the global estimates of hidden agrifood system costs across 156 countries, introducing a typology of six agrifood system types rather than geographic classifications. Building on the 2023 report, this update incorporates data from 2020 and 2021, including greenhouse gas and nitrogen emissions, poverty indicators, and land-use change. By focusing on updated FAO and UN sources, the 2024 report provides a more unified basis for assessing costs.Despite methodological updates, the economic risks from agrifood systems remain consistent with the 2023 findings. Low-income countries bear the highest relative costs – over 30 percent of their GDP – while costs decrease with income. The report cautions that rising hidden costs from agrifood systems will impede economic growth unless addressed, as agrifood system impacts, such as nitrogen pollution and productivity losses from unhealthy diets, challenge global sustainability. Policymakers are encouraged to address these risks with tailored policies to protect growth, underscoring that reducing agrifood sector impacts differs fundamentally from the decarbonization pathway demanded of other sectors. -

No results found.Within the framework of the World Food Forum (WFF), the Global Youth Action initiative harnesses the passion and power of youth, and incites positive action for agrifood systems through youth empowerment. It acts as a catalytic movement and driver of youth engagement in agrifood governance, and serves as a knowledge centre and innovation lab, fostering and inspiring youth-led solutions. It thus actively contributes to the implementation of the United Nations Youth 2030 Strategy and enhances youth engagement in the follow-up to the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit.In 2024, the WFF Global Youth Action initiative entered its fourth year, embarking on a transformative journey towards a world with good food for all, for today and tomorrow. Throughout the year, it remained steadfast in its mission to empower young people to drive transformation within agrifood systems and address climate challenges at both local and global scales. Through expanded multigenerational initiatives, deeper collaborations and greater inclusivity, the WFF Global Youth Action initiative strove to create lasting impact in the journey towards a more sustainable and equitable food future for all. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017
Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
