Four key pathways to transform agrifood systems and promote global food security
December 1, 2025 | Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) |
Speaking at the opening of the 179th Session of the FAO Council, FAO Director-General outlined 4 pathways to accelerate agrifood system transformation amid rising climate risks and food insecurity. These pathways call for a shift from crisis response to resilience building, from input-intensive to knowledge-intensive systems, from siloed approaches to cross-sectoral synergies, and from global commitments to localized action. The agenda combines productivity, resilience, ecosystem restoration, and governance reforms with climate-smart agriculture, nature-based solutions, digital tools, and social protection to tackle agrifood systems’ large emissions and climate vulnerability. Looking ahead, FAO signaled follow-up work under Brazil’s COP30 Action Agenda, including leadership on the Resilient Agriculture Investment for Net-Zero Land Degradation initiative to translate global commitments into country-level action.
