Scientific partnerships to promote fruit and vegetable production

20 September 2021. The new publication Fruit and Vegetables: Opportunities and challenges for small-scale sustainable farming (196 p.), developed by FAO and CIRAD, provides comprehensive technical guidance and policy insights, with a particular focus on small-scale farmers, towards developing the fruit and vegetable sector to achieve the SDGs.


This publication was launched by FAO, in support of the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables 2021
#IYFV2021, through an engaging virtual event to raise awareness of its contents and the critical role of fruits and vegetables in food security, nutrition, livelihoods and incomes of small-scale producers.

This event was also an opportunity to inform the audience of a new Memorandum of Understanding between FAO and the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) and to introduce the International Horticultural Congress (IHC2022) in 2022.
