    Tracking progress on food and agriculture-related SDG indicators 2025 2025
    Also available in:
    The achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the 2030 Agenda is now more crucial than ever, as the target date draws near and many goals are still far from being achieved. Countries across the globe are grappling with an array of complex and interconnected challenges, including ongoing conflicts, health crises, biodiversity loss, the escalating impacts of climate change, and political and economic tensions. FAO is the custodian agency for 22 SDG indicators spanning Goals 2, 5, 6, 12, 14 and 15. Among its key responsibilities as a custodian agency is to curate the indicator methodologies, collect, harmonize and compile data from countries, as well as disseminate and analyse data at global level. This report provides an analysis of regional and global figures and trends for the 22 SDG indicators under FAO's responsibility, thus fulfilling one of FAO’s key roles as custodian agency. The world is at a moderate distance from achieving roughly half of the food and agriculture-related SDG indicators under FAO custodianship; one-quarter of the indicators are close to being achieved, whereas another quarter remains far or very far from being achieved. Meanwhile, progress since 2015 has deteriorated on over three-fifths of the indicators; one indicator has stagnated; whereas only the remaining one-third of indicators have registered an improvement or slight improvement.

    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Foresight approaches in food safety enable the proactive identification and management of emerging issues – including both risks and opportunities – over the medium to long term. These approaches are most effective when human expertise is complemented by emerging digital tools and supported by strong knowledge partnerships among stakeholders. This publication outlines best practices and guiding principles for an effective food safety foresight approach, designed for policymakers, regulators, researchers and industry professionals. It supports timely, informed decision making to strengthen preparedness across agrifood systems.As global agrifood systems undergo rapid transformation, driven by factors such as climate change, urbanization, global trade and technological innovation, the complexity of food safety challenges continues to grow. This publication explores how foresight techniques can be used to prepare for emerging issues and inform science- and evidence-based risk assessments. It highlights the importance of multisectoral collaboration and knowledge sharing, drawing on insights from a global network of experts – from governments, international organizations, research institutes, universities, and the private sector – convened by FAO in 2025.The FAO Food Safety Foresight Programme proactively identifies, assesses and prioritizes emerging trends and drivers shaping agrifood systems that may have implications for food safety. Effective food safety foresight begins with clear objectives and a flexible, structured approach that combines qualitative and quantitative data. It relies on expert-led intelligence gathering, supported by digital tools to identify emerging risks and opportunities. Inclusive stakeholder engagement across sectors enhances insight and objectivity. Success depends on strong communication, institutional buy-in and alignment with decision-making processes. Even with limited resources, foresight capacity can start small and grow over time. This approach empowers stakeholders to anticipate and respond to future food safety challenges, supporting resilient agrifood systems and proactive policy making worldwide.
