FAO at the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture
The focus of this year’s GFFA is transforming agrifood systems | Berlin, 18-21 January 2023
How can we create resilient and sustainable agrifood systems and preserve biological diversity? What is needed to improve collaboration to achieve this? These questions and many more will be in the limelight in Berlin, Germany, at the 2023 Global Forum for Food and Agriculture ([GFFA](https://gffa-berlin.de/en)) held under the main theme of agrifood systems transformation.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) will play a key role in the three-day conference that concludes with the world’s largest informal agriculture ministers’ summit.
