Synopsis (short abstract) Hunger has increased substantially since the Third Financing for Development Conference held in Addis Ababa in July 2015, reaching 733 million people in 2023. Yet, financing for agrifood systems, which was already insufficient, has not increased substantially since then. The Fourth Financing for Development Conference due to take place in July 2025 is a crucial opportunity to prioritize increased investment in the transformation of agrifood systems. This report analyses the agrifood financing landscape, particularly in light of the current global polycrisis, and provides recommendations for reform to ensure that sufficient funding reaches the countries and people most in need.

    Bioeconomy for sustainable food and agriculture: a global opportunity
    Position paper

    This paper has been prepared by FAO to inform the current discussions on bioeconomy including in the G20 Initiative on Bioeconomy (GIB). It focuses specifically on how bioeconomy can ensure food security and nutrition and, at the same time, on the need to transform agrifood systems to advance the sustainable development of the bioeconomy.Global coordination and cooperation are an integral part of sustainable bioeconomy development. There is a need to implement agreed principles, criteria and monitoring systems that jointly address all dimensions of sustainability, to balance the trade-offs that can lead to the unsustainable implementation of the bioeconomy. Multilateral institutions have an important role to play in tailoring these sustainable bioeconomy tools and guidelines in different contexts globally, while providing a neutral platform where all countries and stakeholders have a central role in shaping the future bioeconomy. In this context the paper also contributes to the discussions around a set of High-Level Principles on Bioeconomy at the GIB. It presents an overview of FAO’s work on bioeconomy, resources and networks, and provides lessons learned and recommendations for both G20 Members and globally.
