| dc.description | Conventional agri-food system has to be transformed and diversified to promote dietary and production diversity. Local agricultural production systems offer high potentials for agriculture diversification. Transformation and diversification of agriculture production system will require science-based solutions to support decisive and effective policies, well-targeted investment and use of science to guide practice. Agriculture production that supports and promotes healthy diets, will need a multi-level, multi-actor, multisector and multidisciplinary approach that brings agriculture, environment, natural resources, food, health, trade, economics, rural development agenda together. Under the framework of its Regional Network on Nutrition-sensitive Food System, FAO Regional Office for Near East and North Africa (FAORNE) is co-organizing a special virtual event on “Harnessing local agriculture production system for healthy diets” - Sharing experiences between Asia, Africa and the Near East”, with FAO Regional Offices for Asia and the Pacific (FAORAP) and for Arica (FAORAF). The meeting will take place virtually and it is expected to have leaders and experts from different regions to share and learn on science and research based solutions, innovation and technology in agriculture to ensure access to affordable, safe and nutritious diets for all. It will also discuss science based effective multistakeholder policies and investments that can harness potential of agriculture production system to deliver healthy diet. The meeting will explore opportunities for collaborative work between three regional offices on nutrition-sensitive food system. | |
