An International Summit on Agriculture serves as a crucial platform for global cooperation on agricultural issues. These summits bring together diverse stakeholders, including government representatives, international organizations, researchers, and civil society organizations, to discuss, coordinate, and implement solutions to pressing challenges faced by the agricultural sector.
FAO's Global Summits on agriculture are held biennially, with the most recent one taking place in Rome in 2021. These summits are the cornerstone for prioritizing global food security and tackling issues such as:
Climate change
Biosecurity
Food safety
Smallholder development
Sustainable agricultural practices
The G20 Summits on agriculture are held alternately, with the most recent one taking place in Argentina in 2023. These summits serve as a platform for dialogue and strategic partnerships between world's leading economies and developing countries.
