Resumen
Descripción
The adoption of more sustainable practices in agricultural production and trade is a primary concern for FAO. In the banana sector, the Horticultural Products Group of FAO’s Commodity and Trade Division, which holds the Secretariat of the Intergovernmental Group on Bananas and Tropical Fruits (IGG), is exploring what steps can be taken with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the private sector and governments to further the development of responsible banana production and trade. At its last meeting in May 1999, the IGG discussed the topics of fair trade and organic bananas, as well as other modes of sustainable banana production and trade. In order to initiate a process of dialogue, FAO held an expert meeting in Rome from 22 to 24 March 2000. The main goal of the meeting was to explore the scope for collaboration and for defining a common approach to environmentally and socially responsible banana production and trade.
