Policy Brief
2025Also available in:
No results found.Despite their critical role in climate action, agrifood systems have not been integrated into just transition policy debates under the UNFCCC, and are rarely included in national just transition plans. But these gaps could be overcome at COP30 if Parties recognise the critical importance of resilient, inclusive agrifood systems transformation for achieving a just transition in their deliberations. This policy brief makes the case for placing agrifood systems transformation at the heart of just transition debates and policy making. It proposes an evidence-based framework for pursuing a just transition in agrifood systems that is aligned with the change pathways of the Paris Agreement 2 that can guide national policy making and offers key policy recommendations for Parties and observers at COP30. -

Global analysis
2025Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of this analysis is to present an overview of the status of agrifood systems in NDCs, as well as provide insights into the extent to which NDCs are contributing to the climate-resilient and low-emissions agrifood system transformations needed to achieve the Paris Agreement. It provides an overview of the major climate-related risks and greenhouse gas hot spots in agrifood systems, and it synthesizes the main climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies being set forth in the nationally determined contributions to address them. It also takes stock of the underpinning governance, knowledge and capacity and finance needs articulated to enable climate action in agrifood systems. Lastly, it highlights mitigation, adaptation and climate finance ambition gaps in agrifood systems to inform enhanced ambition, action and support. -

Deliberative Dialogues: July–September 2025
2025Also available in:
No results found.From July to September 2025, FAO convened four online deliberative dialogue meetings on the subject of how to achieve a just transition in agrifood systems. Through the dialogues, participants developed a more clearly articulated, though still evolving, definition of what a just transition means for agrifood systems. This definition reflects the numerous complexities, actors, and challenges that are unique to agriculture and other forms of food production across different scales and regions. Insights from participants coalesced around a shared conceptualization of a just transition in agrifood systems as a transformational shift from the inequitable and unsustainable models of production, distribution and consumption that characterize today’s global agrifood systems, to ones that are ecologically grounded, rights-based, and socially inclusive - shaped by the distinctive needs, priorities, and participation of the most vulnerable actors - especially those who have been historically marginalized in the Global South.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPicturing progress – Four betters in focus 2025This commemorative volume marks the 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), tracing its journey from a founding conviction – that hunger is not inevitable – to today’s global mission of transforming agrifood systems. Through a rich collection of photographs and narratives, the book illustrates how FAO works alongside farmers, fishers, scientists, governments, Indigenous Peoples, youth and civil society to advance sustainable solutions that nourish both people and planet.Organized around FAO’s vision of the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life – the book highlights concrete progress: from regenerative farming and climate-smart livestock, to school feeding programmes, land restoration and inclusive digital innovation. It reflects on both the challenges and the opportunities facing agrifood systems, including climate volatility, conflict and inequality, while showing how collaboration, knowledge and innovation create pathways for resilience and hope.Arriving at a moment of reflection and renewal, this volume is both tribute and testimony: to the millions of people whose daily efforts sustain our world, and to FAO’s enduring commitment to building sustainable, inclusive and equitable agrifood systems that leave no one behind.
