The State of Food and Agriculture 2017

Publicerad: 20 oktober 2017

The 2017 edition of the State of Food and Agriculture report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has been released. This year, the theme of the report is “Leveraging food systems for inclusive rural transformation”.

The new report looks at how population growth, increasing urbanization, technologies, and climate change are transforming rural and urban areas, and how the world’s food systems are evolving. The report concludes that fulfilling the 2030 Agenda depends crucially on progress in rural areas, which is where most of the poor and hungry live today, and outlines a strategy for how agriculture and rural economies in developing countries can provide prosperity.
