COP30: FAO brings agrifood systems to the forefront of climate action
November 21, 2025 | Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) |
At COP30, FAO positioned agrifood systems as a central pillar of climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience strategies. FAO emphasized that agrifood systems—including crops, livestock, fisheries, aquaculture, and forestry—can deliver substantial emissions reductions while restoring ecosystems and strengthening food security. The organization highlighted a persistent finance gap: despite their mitigation potential, agrifood systems currently receive only about 4% of total climate-related development finance. In response, FAO supported several COP30 Action Agenda initiatives, including RAIZ, TERRA (to accelerate resilient and regenerative agrifood and agroecological solutions), and the Bioeconomy Challenge, a global multi-stakeholder platform. The message reinforced the need to align climate finance, agricultural policy, and food system transformation, with implications for donors, development banks, and national governments seeking scalable climate-smart investments.
