Resumen
Descripción
The unsustainability of agrifood systems is a major concern today. The State of Food and Agriculture (2023) discussed sustainability of agrifood systems and hidden costs. As it noted, addressing the hidden costs of agrifood systems requires significant changes to current production and consumption practices. For ensuring sustainability through more efficient and responsible value chains, bioeconomy can be a catalyst. Bioeconomy for Sustainable Food and Agriculture is a Programme Priority Area under Better Environment (PPA BE2) in FAO’s Strategic Framework 2022-31. FAO is the first and, so far, the only UN agency to include bioeconomy as a strategic priority. The PPA BE2 aims to promote formulation and implementation of integrated evidence-based policies and practices using technological, organizational and social innovations. It supports directly achieving the SDG targets 12.2 (sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources), 12.4 (management of chemicals and wastes and significantly reduce their release) and 12.5 (reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse).
