18/10 Partnership for co-developing research and innovation: sharing experiences from FAO and Cirad, INRAE & IRD
The session showcased tools and initiatives contributing to transforming the livestock sector to a more environmentally, economically and socially sustainable sector. Innovative tools and initiatives will be presented across three thematic areas: (i) sustainable livestock systems for food security, nutrition and inclusive economic growth; (ii) animal, public and environmental health through the One Health approach; and (iii) natural resource use, climate change and biodiversity.
19/10 Science, Innovation & Investments for Transformative Food Systems PathwaysThis event showcased the transformative potential of specific science-based interventions, innovations and investment approaches that can support countries to implement their national Agrifood Systems pathways within their overall efforts to achieve the SDGs. The event featured the launch of the Scientific Advisory Group of the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub and will introduce the Youth and Indigenous People focal points for the Hub.
Incl. EU research initiatives the European Commission has on the implementation of the One health approach in the agrifood systems
20/10 FAO Science and Innovation Strategy: What’s next?
FAO’s first-ever Science and Innovation Strategy (the Strategy) was designed through an inclusive, transparent and consultative process as a key tool to support the delivery of the Strategic Framework 2022-31 and hence the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The discussion focused on next steps in strengthening science and evidence decision-making and supporting innovation and technology at country level.
20/10 Increasing Agricultural Productivity in Africa: Can STI help Africa to make a quantum leap in agricultural productivity?
This event highlighted the reasons for low agricultural productivity and present the potential of science, technology and innovation to increase the agricultural productivity improve the situation.
20/10 Agrifood Systems Technologies & Innovations Outlook (ATIO)\
FAO Science and Innovation Forum 2022 (2)
19/10 Investments in agricultural research for development: Are we on the right track?Investments in agricultural research remains extremely low, especially in low- and lower-middle-income countries. For every 100 dollars of agricultural GDP, only between 34 and 72 cents are being spent on agricultural research and development. The investment is uneven, as very few high-income countries were responsible for almost 60 percent while low-income countries’ was just 2 percent of the global total. This special event provided a global overview of the current situation regarding investments in agricultural research for development and future demand and prospects.
19/10 Opening of the Science and Innovation Forum: Are we doing enough to achieve the SDGs?Science and innovation are powerful components of evidence-based decision-making at all levels and key to transforming agrifood systems as affirmed by the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS). The opening session of the science and innovation forum with the Chief Scientists of the UN agencies focused on how Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) can contribute and provide innovative solutions to achieve the SDGs, with due consideration to social and ethical dimensions, leaving no one behind.
