Can FAO's road map to transform agrifood systems meet its climate goals?
By Andrew Green, Devex, 29 May 2024
The Food and Agriculture Organization's ambitious effort to get the world to transform food systems could have broad-reaching implications. But not everyone is on board with the direction of travel.
It was never going to be an easy task to design a plan for an agrifood system that can end hunger worldwide while keeping global warming below the target of 1.5 degrees Celsius laid out in the 2015 Paris climate agreement.
Last year, during the COP 28 United Nations climate conference in Dubai, the Food and Agriculture Organization released a preliminary road map with an aim to do just that.
That report, which takes a global perspective, lays out 120 actions across 10 domains — including livestock, crops, fisheries and aquaculture, and food loss and waste — that can be taken to achieve the two goals. Called a road map “in brief,” it’s meant to be an overview of the first part of a three-year road map process, with in-depth, iterative reports to be released each year through COP 30.
