Resumen
Descripción
Recent developments in food systems have created significant opportunities to drive economic growth, create employment, particularly for rural youth, and address hunger and malnutrition. However, these opportunities are constrained by challenges such as weak infrastructure, ineffective policies and institutions, low private sector investment and inefficiencies resulting in food loss and waste (FLW). These constraints not only reduce the availability of nutritious food but also contribute to environmental degradation. Furthermore, limited capacity for trade-related policy decisions and inadequate access to data hinder progress. This subprogramme, led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Agrifood Systems and Food Safety Division (ESF) was designed to support countries in transforming their food systems to become sustainable, resilient and inclusive. It was implemented in 16 countries across five regions, including Afghanistan, Barbados, Egypt, Eswatini, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Liberia, Nepal, Palestine, Republic of Moldova, Suriname, United Republic of Tanzania, Uganda, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Zambia.
